Hi, I'm new. Can someone please tell me if there's a way to delete a food item from the food lists that accumulate as you log foods? I'm not talking about the daily diary--I see the red button with the - in the middle of it, I'm talking about the list that you see when you go to log in a food and they give you the list of items you've previously logged over time. Thank you so much!

    I assume you are asking about the Recent list, which is the default view for add food.
    ​​The Recent list just displays up to the last 100 items you, yourself, added to your Food Diary. Those food items will eventually drop off of the Recent list display after you log more items. You can not delete them from the Recent list. If you want, you can change your default display to the Frequent list, from which you can hide previous food items that you added to your Food Diary and do not want to see displayed on a list of foods. On the Web version, navigate to FOOD > Settings and change Default Add Food View to Frequent.

    The only way to have the Recent list not display those items that you added to your Food Diary is for you to go back to your Food Diary and delete all instances of those unwanted items from every day that you logged them. However, if you delete those unwanted entries from your Food Diary, be aware that your macros will not be correct for those previous days and any Reports, if you use that, will not be correct.

    Well, this is interesting. Today when I logged on to add foods I saw there is now a button to remove foods from the list!
