Hi - I have found a food in the database but I can't seem to add it to my foods for future selection. I was tryingto build up my foods to make the trackign easier going forward. Is that doable?
Thanks!!!

I don't believe you can add a pre-existing food to the list under "My Foods". That is only for foods that you added all the nutritional information for manually. To my knowledge, there isn't any way to save a list of your favorite foods unless you make them a meal. At least I haven't been able to find one. As you enter foods, they will be saved in your "recent" and "most used" lists though so you can find them there. Hope this helps.0
