How To: Add a Custom Food in Nutrition Module

You need this because: 

• You have an item that is not in our food library
• You want to add the nutrition facts from a full recipe

Step-by-step Walkthrough:

Have you tried adding a food item to your food log but have been unable to find it in our large database of foods? If so, now you can add your own foods to the database if you have all the nutritional information.

1.  Once in your Nutrition Module, Select "Add Food"

2. Search for the food you are looking for into the search line. Note: If you are adding a custom recipe, you still need to "search" for something prior to adding it. You can just type "new" in the search line here to get to the next step.

3. Can't find what you're looking for? Looking to add a custom recipe? Scroll to the very bottom of the page and click "ADD A FOOD"

4. Type in the food information - Name, Serving Size, Calories, Fat, Carbohydrates, Protein, then hit the Save icon.

Once the item is saved to the database you will be able to see the new item in your food log and be able to use that item in future food logs by searching in the database.

Note - you can include Macro and Micro nutrient information into your created foods.  This includes
