Adding food to your diary

Searching the food database, choosing portions and filling in a meal.

On the nutrition screen, each meal has a button to add something: breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.

Searching. Type what you ate. The database contains branded products and individual ingredients; the list gets shorter as you type. If you can’t find a brand, search for the basic product -- ‘wholemeal bread’ finds what ‘bread from the bakery round the corner’ doesn’t.

Portions. Many products have fixed portions: a slice, a glass, a can. Choose one and enter the number. If you know the weight, you can also just enter grams -- that’s more accurate, and for anyone keeping a close eye on their macros, it’s the difference between being right and guessing.

What’s tracked. Kilocalories, protein, carbohydrates and fat, and sugars where known. The day’s total is at the top, and for each meal you see what that meal contributed.

Logging something quickly. If you ate something whose values you don’t know, you can enter it as a separate line with an estimate. A rough estimate that’s there is better than a perfect one you never enter.
