Hi there, all. If I "Create a New Food", does it auto-magically get added to the main MFP food database?:huh:

    I *think* it only shows up in your 'My Foods' section. But I could be wrong.

    It gives you an option to add it if you would like.

    You have to check a little box that lets them add it to the database, but when you do it's in there for good ^-^

    Only if you check "allow other MFP users to use entry." The option says something like that.

    yes, as long as you select to allow other's to use it before you save... otherwise it just ends up in your "My Foods" section.
