How do I add a food to my food diary?

To add food to your diary, simply take the following steps:

On the Web

• Click on the "Food" tab, then click "Add Food" under the meal you'd like to log.

In our latest iOS and Android Apps

• You can search for a food to add to your Diary by tapping the blue add button (+) and then tapping “Log Food”. You can also add food on the Diary page by tapping “Add Food” under a meal time.

To search for food, type the food name in the search field. You can enter brand names or just keywords. Then, tap the "Search" button. For greater convenience, with our Premium subscription, our iOS and Android apps support searching by scanning an item's barcode.

Tap on a matching search result, then adjust the Number of Servings or Serving Size to reflect how much of that item you’ve eaten.

That’s it. Your food will be logged in your diary.

Pro Tip: Our database has an enormous number of food items. You may improve your search results by adding terms like "uncooked," "cooked," "raw" or "generic" (for instance "apple generic") if your initial search does not provide the specific item you are seeking.
