Is there a way to look up the calories in an item of food without adding it to my food diary? I'm trying to plan my meals for the next week but the only way I can find the calories of stuff is if I add them to my daily diary :/ Can anyone help?

    Yes

    Click Food, then Database

    As you search the nutritional info will come up without adding it

    Click on 'Food' and then on 'Database' just below food tab - you can then look up stuff, change amounts etc and it will give nutritional breakdown - what irritates me is that I can't then easily add it to my diary :smile:
