    Have just been directed here by another user as I had mentioned in the forum how difficult I found logging what I'm eating. This post is easy to read and makes sense and includes lots of tips. Thanks so much!

    Just a quick add to the OP:

    There have been some changes to the search function on MFP recently and a lot of the FDA data now starts with the word "Generic"

    While this post initially, quite correctly, advised that you avoid all entries starting "*Generic or *Homemade" you are now looking for foods that start with the words Generic but are not preceded by a *

    Sorry if thats a bit complicated and thanks to MFP for the search changes!

    I don't see that personally...

    When I search Banana first entry is the usda Banana - Raw...no generic in front of it. Nor on the App...

    Maybe it's not site wide yet...I will definately keep an eye out for it.

    I was really hoping that this meant they had reversed it but it is there for apples (I only use a computer not the app) Not sure how to do a screen shot either.

    In the listing it is "Generic - Apple- Raw without Skin" but goes into my diary as "apples -raw without skin"

    Would love to know what other people are seeing

    Wow, thanks OP for this. I just posted about my frustration in getting a good scale and the database, not realizing I can create my own entries and add them to my foods. As well as many other things I've learned from your post. I will be building my own food database! :)
