I have noticed over and over again that when people add a food item, often all the information that is added is the carbohydrate and calorie information. If you do this, please STOP :) It is very frustrating to add foods and then realize the protein, sodium, etc is missing. Thank you

    I totally agree! What's the point of entering something if you aren't entering it all? I always enter as much info. as I have available.

    Completely agree.

    Its frustrating especially because if you try to add the same item it blocks your entry because the incomplete one is already there.

    Enter your own food, then. People only enter what is important to them, at that particular time. Check before you add it. Nutrients change on foods from year to year, too, depending on the manufacturing and labelling of that company.

    Absolutely agree with the OP.

    Do it properly or leave it to someone who will; those of us who log meals using the smartphone apps cannot make changes to existing foods, unlike those who log using their PC, who can.
