Hello, I would like to know if I can manually add potassium to my log like I can quick-add calories? So many listed foods do not have potassium values listed and I'm having trouble finding choices to log that do. thank you.

    No, you can't do anything like a quick add for potassium. You can create your own food entries that have correct potassium amounts. (They'll be saved in the Foods tab in the phone/tablet app, or "My Foods" in web MFP). You could even create a personal food that has just potassium. I think you can add a zero calorie food; if so, you could create a zero calorie food with 1mg of potassium and a serving size of 1 mg, and log as many servings of it as you need to add, i.e., 125 servings if you ate something with 125mg of potassium.
