Adding food to my database

You could always create a new food under your my foods and not make it avaliable in the database.

I do as @CyberTone suggests and save the barcode portion of the package. Or when I repackage the product I cut out the Food Label and UPC Code and put that inside the repackaged food.

I used to just log it under a different date (my go to was always December 2, 2011 for whatever reason). However, with the recent updates it won't really let me do this anymore as the recently logged foods aren't considered "recently added"
I would love to see this added as an option though, it would save me so much time!

The Recent list is a non-stored database query of the last 100 items you logged to your Food Diary, either from an individual meal table or all meal tables depending on your Food Diary settings. The query will pull all recent food items from both past and future dates - I checked. In your use case example, it is most likely that since you were logging food items to a date from a long time ago, those food items would get displayed as long as those "older" food items did not get pushed off of the query results by food items from more recent dates. Now that you have a larger number of food items in your Food Diary, some or all of the food items you stored in December 2, 2011 just will not get on the list of the last 100 items pulled by the Recent list query.
