How to enter nutritional info?

How can I enter a food that is not in the database? I don't like choosing "similar" things when I have the ability to add the correct info myself (for example from a website or when scanning my barcode brings up inaccurate nurtritional info). I see how I can create a "personal food" but it's not personal, it's a restaurant food that isn't in the database but has the nutriional info on their website, so I want to add it myself rather than picking something "similar" from another restaurant. I don't need it to be personal, other people probably have looked for it too! Also, just last week I scanned some oatmeal and the nutrition info that came up was wrong :huh: and I wished I knew how to just create a new food in the database by entering it myself from the nutrition label on the box.

Help! Thanks! :flowerforyou:
