Add & Edit New Custom Foods Into The Database
Dear User,
The Food
Diary's food database is comprehensive. However, there are a million
and one food items in the supermarket. If there is a food you ate that is
not in our database, you can quickly added it in by coping the info on the
Nutrition Facts labels off the food package into this screen.
The screen below is the custom food screen of the Food Diary.
This is the new custom food screen. The food diary in this screen allows you
to define custom foods. The first thing you need to do is enter the food
description.
When entering the description, keep in mind that the food will be categorized
under all the foods based on the food description. So, if you have two foods
starting with the same word such as Apple, they will be grouped under the same
category Apple. And when you open the Apple category you'll have two choose a
specific food you meant.
So Apple pie and Apple cookie will both appear under Apple. And when you open
the Apple category you'll have cookie and pie.
Next enter the number of calories, fat, proteins, carbs, sodium, and dietary
fiber off nutritional label of the food. And then enter the weight of of this
portion of food.
So if you have 28 g of food containing 90 calories, 5 g of fat, etc. enter
that as it says in the nutritional facts food label. You can select the weight
of this portion to be in grams, pounds, ounces, or milliliters.
After entering the basic food information, you can enter any of the other
nutritional values that are secondary such as potassium, Zinc, and other of the
82 nutritional values we track in the food diary.
At this point you have just to define the basic food make up for your custom
food. So when you're done, click apply. The food has been added into the
database.
If you would like to edit this food values, into foot Explorer select custom
foods, then select the food you want to edit the values for. And click at it to
custom foods button on the top right of the food Explorer.
If you would like to add a custom manager such as one cop or one glass, then
select the food into foot Explorer as if you're going to edit to your meal. In
the measures, scroll down and select add new measure. Then you'll be able to add
the new measure such as Juan Koppel one glass or one plate to your custom food.

regularly. However, if you would like to add your own food, this screen allows
you to do so.
