Help! I am Nigerian and most of what I eat is not in the database. It makes it really frustrating for me when logging in foods. I have to guess and this does not accurately represent what I eat. I don't know what to do. Just wanted to vent.

    Are the individual items in the database? You could enter the dish that way (which is how I usually do it when I make an ethnic dish). The other option is to use a recipe calculator, which you can find online. I use recipes.sparkpeople.com. You enter all the ingredients in your dish and how many servings it makes and they calculate the nutritional info for you. Sometimes there are a lot of international foods that are hard tof ind though, and I agree, that can be very frustrating! I hope someone else can give you some better suggestions on how to deal with that.
