Quick answers
What does BatchBite calculate?
BatchBite uses the whole-batch calories and macros you reviewed, the measured final cooked weight, and the grams in a named plated portion.
The result is only as reliable as the totals and weights entered. BatchBite does not verify source values or invent missing totals.
Where is my data?
Recipes, household labels, portion names, batches, meal logs, reminder settings, and the measured-plate rhythm derived from local logs stay on your iPhone. BatchBite has no account, cloud-storage service, or collaborative household service. A user-shared limited meal-data link contains only reviewed totals, cooked weight, batch name/date, named plate weights, and leftovers—not ingredient notes, corrections, logs, targets, reminder settings, or broader history. Its URL-safe Base64 JSON payload is not encrypted; anyone with the link can decode, retain, or forward those included fields.
How do I create a shared meal?
Use the three stages: Meal totals for reviewed whole-batch macros and cooked weight; Divide the plates for each named plate’s measured grams; then Everything accounted for to review proportional nutrition and explicit leftovers before saving. Your two setup labels appear first and can be changed for future meals in Settings → Household plates.
How does my partner skip duplicate recipe entry?
Open the completed batch and choose Share with household. Your partner opens the link with BatchBite and the validated measured batch appears in their Batches tab. Opening the same link twice does not create a duplicate.
Why are leftovers explicit?
BatchBite conserves cooked weight. Anything not assigned to a named portion remains visible as leftover grams. It may be food still in the container, scale variance, or a portion you have not entered; it never becomes an assumed serving.
Can I correct a batch?
Yes. A correction requires a reason, validates the replacement, and preserves the complete prior state in correction history. Existing consumed-log snapshots remain unchanged unless you separately correct that log.
What is Measured-plate rhythm?
Today marks the last seven calendar days where you logged a named batch portion. It is derived on your iPhone from saved log dates. It is not a public streak, competition, activity feed, or health score, and leftover, manual, and generic food logs do not count as measured plates.
How does the dinner reminder work?
It is optional and off until you choose it. Enable Before-dinner reminder in BatchBite Settings and select 5:30 PM, 6:30 PM, or 7:30 PM. BatchBite asks iOS for notification permission and schedules one repeating reminder locally. It uses no remote push, sends no meal or household details to a server, and does not track opens. To disable it, turn the setting off. If permission was denied, open iPhone Settings → Apps → BatchBite → Notifications, allow notifications, then enable it again in BatchBite.

Calculation troubleshooting
If a value looks wrong, check the reviewed calories and macros for the entire recipe, the final cooked weight without the container, each named portion weight without the plate, and the explicit leftover weight. Use grams consistently. If allocated grams exceed cooked weight, correct a portion or reweigh the remaining food.
Local data
Delete individual batches from Batches and individual meal logs from Today. BatchBite 1.0 has no bulk-delete command. Removing the app removes its local container, subject to Apple-managed backups. Deleting content or the app does not cancel BatchBite Pro.
Choose Settings → Run onboarding again to revisit the seven setup screens, household labels, and reminder choice without deleting saved batches or logs.
