Scanning your Products!

Hi - very new to this app, so please bear with me! Tried scanning some products today (that was the easy bit!) and I had hoped that these kind of went to my own database of frequently used products so that I can pick from when i eat these (won't always be able to scan these on a daily basis as am working for example and could cook the items and forget!). They all seem to go onto your lunch or dinner for example (was a very heavy protein lunch due to the Quorn products I scanned (not eaten though!)). Any tips on how to just store these rather than have to do before I have that product?? Hope that makes sense!
Thanks
Sam

    Click on Add Food. At the bottom, click on "Settings". Display Recently Used For: Change to "all meals".

    I haven't found a way to scan and keep them without adding them to a meal. Maybe just scan everything into a day in the past so they are there.

    you could always create a custom recipe, add the item as an ingredient then pull it up from your recipes anytime you wish.
