Previewing items before logging
iOS and Android
In our mobile apps, you can currently preview a food's nutrition information by starting the food logging process.
You can cancel before adding it to your diary, or delete the entry afterward if you change your mind.
Website
- Log into the website using the same email and password you use with the app.
- Click the Food tab.
- Click Database, and search for the food.
-
Click on the item you want to preview. You’ll see the Nutrition Facts listed to the right.
Frequently asked questions
If I cancel before logging, will anything be saved to my diary?
No. Canceling the log process before tapping the checkmark (apps) or the Add To Diary button (website) means nothing is added.
Can I browse the database on my phone the same way as the website?
The dedicated Database browsing view described here is a website feature. On mobile, previewing happens through the logging flow itself.
