I am taking a supplement call Lifepak Nano, where do we record such supplements so it can calculate our total nutrition?

    The only option is to log it in your food diary.

    You have up to 6 meal slots in your diary, which you may not realize if you're using the defaults. If you're not using all 6 yet, you can set one up just for supplements, if you like. It's also fine, obviously, to log them as part of another meal.

    MFP will only track the limited set of nutrients it tracks, not the extra nutrients your supplement might have beyond those.

    If someone has accurately added that supplement to the food database already, you can use that entry to log it. If no one else has added it already, you can add it in your "My Foods" section and log it from there.
