Hi,

You can edit any food you have personally added to your database, and you can delete personal foods, as well, provided you have not shared them with the public database. Here's how.

On the Web

Click on the "Food" tab, then click "My Foods." Search for the food you'd like to edit or delete, then click on that item in the search results. Finally, click on the "Edit" or "Delete" button to make modifications to your food.

In our Mobile apps

To edit a personal food, visit the "More" page of the application ("Settings" on Android), then select "Edit Foods & Exercises” then "My Foods”. Select a food item in that list to edit the details.

To delete a personal food from that list:

iPad, iPhone or Android users, tap the circular red button next to the food, then tap "Delete."

Windows Phone users, press and hold a food item, then tap "Delete" in the menu that appears.

BlackBerry users, select a food and press the Menu key, then choose the delete option from the list.

We hope this helps.

Cheers,

They will go away on their own as they are replaced by new foods you eat recently or frequently.

If that's why you are asking you don't need to do anything.

If you are trying to hide them for some reason, may I ask why?

There is a setting in profiles where you can choose which one shows up as your first tab by default. In case you are trying to hide certain foods from yourself or someone. Like brownies from yourself or "Hooters, Fried Pickles" from your wife. Or "Nine inch banana" from your husband.

Hit the red button. And re log if needed by portion size. You can adjust.
1 oz instead of 3. 1 T instead of 2 , etc.
Good luck.
