Food Diary

Is it just me or is there an easier way to do this? When I click on Add Food in my diary, it defaults to "Recent". I have about 4 pages of foods on that tab. When I eat something and get ready to track it, how am I supposed to remember how it is listed. For instance, broccoli. I look under the B's and it isn't there. Then I scroll to the V's thinking maybe it is listed as "Vegetable-Broccoli". Nope, not there either. Maybe F for Fresh? Oh, wait then I find it under G for "Generic - Broccoli Steamed" or some such crazy thing.

Same thing happens with a brand name. If I have roasted edamame for a snack, but I have it on my list as Sprouts Roasted Edamame. I spend my time looking in the E's first, before I scroll the entire list and see it in the S's. It just seems a very tedious process.

I don't have any foods listed under My Foods, and even if I did I'm not sure it would help in searching for the right thing.

Does anyone have tips on how to make tracking easier and faster? I'm sorry if this has been posted before. I have searched and searched and not found anything to help.

Thanks! Kristine

Sorry no advice on this, I just find it as frustrating as you. I end up just doing the search again as its quicker
