How do you make foods favorites or add scanned foods to my foods?

    You can't. The barcode scan function only looks for a matching item in the Food Database and then allows you to log it to your Food Diary. The Recent list just pulls and displays up to the last 100 entries from each Meal slot that you have already logged to your Food Diary. The Frequent list has an algorithm which the user can't control that draws up to 25 items from what you have already logged to your Food Diary. The My Meals list is only for those private items you have created, or public items that you temporarily "own" because you have edited them - if another user happens to edit the same entry, it will disappear from your My Foods list.
