    If it's not in the database, use the nutritional information that should be on the package to make your own entry.

    when I tried to add this biscuit, the app told me that this brand may be existing in the database
    while I did the barcode scan, the item appear once it read it,
    cucumber with peels, ½ cup.

    You can still make another entry, especially if searching gives you nothing.

    These are basic tea biscuits and are about 470 calories per 100 grams.

    Does it already available on the App’s database?
    could you give us the full information so we could help each other to add this item if not.

    Mine don't appear on the database either, but they have the info on the package. Luckily I have a package somewhere.

    I went and checked for you and I was right about the calorie count. Here is the picture:

    Looks different than mine.
    Mine is full of small boxes each one contains 4 PCS of biscuits.
    if that's correct like the one’s you have then each package will contain 120 calories since it's only have 4 in each one.

    So do we add it to the database? and whats up the barcode scan turning it to cucumber with peel 1/2 cup ?

    These are bought in bulk and are not in small packages. The kind of biscuit is exactly the same though the brand is different, so there might be minor variations but not enough to worry about, and the size may be different. Use a scale to weigh your biscuits, and 32 grams should be about 150 calories. To add it to your database scan your biscuits, then click "find a better match" then "create food" and enter the info above to create a new food. Use the 32 gram value as a serving size in your new food, and every time you eat them just weigh out the portion you wish to eat and you should be able to enter the weight in grams.
