How do I enter in many of the bar codes for foods that I will use. Can I just open my frig and scan many codes to store them for entry on a daily bases?

    Sorry, there is no personal "One Day I Might Eat These, Or Not" list of barcoded food items you can set up. :) The general idea is that there is one massive Food Database that MFP users have contributed to. When you log a barcoded item to your Food Diary, it searches the Food Database for a match. Once found, it is best if you verify that the item returned actually matches the Nutrition Facts label for the barcoded item that you have just scanned.

    Note: If the found item does not match the scanned barcode, you can scroll to the bottom of that page and click "Not correct? Find Better Match" button and perform a text search for the item. If you do find the correct item, you can re-associate the barcode with the correct item.
