Recent Food easy find

richster1

My list of RECENT FOODS (i.e breafast/add food/recent) has grown quite extensive..it is 4 pages long..after a few days I can't recall what the food item was labelled as..was it Kraft Peanut Butter? Great Value Peanut Butter? Joes Peanut Butter..this goes for many many food which has me going back and forth the RECENT list many times..I KNOW it is one of the few brands of peanut butter I buy..is there a way to search just my recent list of foods with a keyword (say peanut butter?) which will show just the three brands I used previously instead of all the peanut butter out there in the world?

heh.

No, there isn't. You can go in and delete the ones you aren't using any more on the Recents list.

I've finally gotten my Recents list the way I like it, but it's a process.

If you name your own foods, you can use "Peanut Butter" as the first thing in the title once you learn how the database and naming works. I had to do that with foods that I use a lot for that very same reason you are asking about. Then at least with an alphabetical (name) sort, I can find Peanut Butter between the peaches and the strawberries.

Do you have a phone or tablet, iOS or Android? The app's food search works different from the web one. If you type in "peanut" it will show you your recent foods that contain that word. (If you want it to show more than just from your recents, you have to click a 'search all foods' thingie. (Note that the app defines "recent" slightly differently than the web does, too, but that's NBD that I can see.)

I prefer to do most of my food logging on my phone, but use the web app for most other things (at least when I'm at home).
