I would like to see an update which would allow me to enter foods into my database but not into my daily diary. For example, when I get home from grocery shopping I take a lot of my food out of the package and throw that out. Then I have no way to scan it in at a later date and have to guess the nutrition information.
Anyone know of a way to do this that I don't? Or know where to make a suggestion to the company? I can't seem to find anything.
Thanks!

You could always create a new food under your my foods and not make it avaliable in the database.0

Either save the barcoded portion of the package for later scanning, or pick a future date in your diary and scan everything to that date and just pick the food items from your Recent list as you eat them.0

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.0

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!0 -

No advice - but you would drive me insane. I hate when people throw out the packaging and all I have left is a bunch of random crap in the fridge/freezer with no nutrition info, no product names, no cooking instructions. Might as well throw the food out with it if you're in my house because I'm not eating it any more.
I do have a kitchen drawer with package info and bar codes though if I've managed to rescue it before it went out with the trash.0
