    It's always nice to just scan a barcode on my phone to log a meal.

    I love that feature also. I logged my food on another site about 3 years ago but found it hard because I had to manually put in most things

    I had no ideas the MFP app could do that. Good to know!

    just be careful with it and check the entries ....even the scanned ones can be incorrect.

    I would love to have a smart phone so I could use that. I see my daughter use it all the time. Maybe someday!

    Definitely. I've been lucky with everything I have scanned has been right. A friend who eats a load of sweets has noticed that there have been errors (with the sweet products).

    It's well worth it, its such a handy tool. Any smartphone with a camera will do it. You wouldn't need the fanciest one on the market :smile:

    You can only do it from the App but when you're in the food entry screen there's a little barcode in the bottom corner. Tap that and scan the item with the camera.

    This feature is the No.1 best thing about MFP in my opinion :smile:

    I have an android; the bar code is to the right of the 'search for food' field toward the top of the screen.

    "My Foods" is a list of items that you've created, so the only way to do it would be to create your own entry manually.
