Deleting foods

Can anyone tell me how I can delete some of the food items I have in my list? Thanks in advance!

On the computer, you can just click on the red minus sign to the right of your food. The apps are even easier (on Apple), just swipe to the left and there is the delete button. On droids, click the pencil in the upper right hand corner (the edit button) and then select what you want to delete, and then click the picture of the trash can.

Well, my Android app is 100% useless again, acting very chrashtastic, so I'm only on the computer. Clicking on the red minus icon will delete a food from your day's diary, but not from the database. I am only able to bring up a delete button from the "frequent" tab, and even then, all the foods keep reappearing.

I am completely fed up with the Android problem here.

I assume you are asking about the Recent list, which is the default view for add food.
​​The Recent list just displays up to the last 100 items you, yourself, added to your Food Diary. Those food items will eventually drop off of the Recent list display after you log more items. You can not delete them from the Recent list. If you want, you can change your default display to the Frequent list, from which you can hide previous food items that you added to your Food Diary and do not want to see displayed on a list of foods. On the Web version, navigate to FOOD > Settings and change Default Add Food View to Frequent.

The only way to have the Recent list not display those items that you added to your Food Diary is for you to go back to your Food Diary and delete all instances of those unwanted items from every day that you logged them. However, if you delete those unwanted entries from your Food Diary, be aware that your macros will not be correct for those previous days and any Reports, if you use that, will not be correct.

Great word! I'm sorry you are frustrated and I don't use the app so I'm of no help, but I just wanted to say that initially I read that word as "charismatic" and I thought that was an extremely interesting way to describe a phone function! Then I re-read and discovered a new word to use. Hope it starts working better for you, though!
