in Food and Nutrition
Sorry - I've been using the website for a couple of weeks and have a beginner question.

Obviously lots of people are entering foods with the calories, grams of protein, etc -

I have only been able to figure out how to do this with the recipe calculator.

Is there another way to enter your own foods into the database?

    Do your food search under the meal you want to add it to. If your item isn't there scroll down to where it says: Can't find what you're looking for? Add a food to the database - click that. Add the info from your package.

    If there isn't a whole meal that is already logged, I love using the barcode scanner, or I will add my items in individually!

    Packaged food with barcoded container is the easiest and fastest to add using the app.

    Yes, this. Use the barcode scanner.

    Thanks for the replies, sadly my smartphone was stolen so no barcode scanner for me - I hadn't tried scrolling to the bottom of the list, so thanks for the tip!
