    Yes, MFP is aware of it.. they've posted a couple things on the help desk page. You can add quick calories, that's what I did with lunch.

    Hmm,

    Is this what we can expect with Under Armor running the site?

    Same. But I just scanned the barcode on my food & it worked for me. That'll do for now. Hopefully the problem is fixed soon.

    Same here. I was able to create food. But one that is missing is eggs. I had to go to one of my recipes to add it as quick calories.
