How can I change the names of the foods I've chosen

First off LOVE MFP, it is starting to get me on track.
However, For the life of me I can't remember that the yogurt I always eat is filed under T for trader joes. Anyone else have this problem? Is there a way for me to relabel foods so that I can find them?

Thanks in advance!

    You can create a food so that it falls into your "My Foods" tab, or, you can try being specific when you search, like, Trader Joes Yogurt Plain, etc. The search doesnt have to be in alphabetical order, it will pop up anything with those words in it.

    Make your own entry for the food and assign it the name you want.

    Click on food, right click on Myfoods and open in a new window, click create food

    Go back to the first window, search for the food, click on it, then click nutritional info

    flip back and forth copying the info to your new food

    Thanks! So when I bar code a food will it go under my designated name or under its own?

    Thanks!
    I get it! I now need to search first under something more generic, rather than get barcode happy.

    Seems like a whole lot of work, but it might be worth it. Slowly....
