I can't seem to be able to add any foods to my diary from the database. I CAN'T FIND THE DATABASE! When I try to add a food to my breakfast... All it shows is "Recent", "Frequent", "My foods", "My Meals", "My Recipes" but there isn't any database of foods from which I can choose to add to my Breakfast or lunch or whatever. Please help guys, I installed the App today.

    Hi, just start typing in the search box at the top. It will then take you to the data base.

    I go to my diary and let's say I click "Add Food" on the break fast section. then it takes me to a screen where there is a search box but whenever I Type in a food let's say "egg" its says "no result" because "Recents" is highlighted and I can't escape the highlight. Other highlights are "Frequent" "My Meals" "My Recipes "My Foods" etc. Could you please guide me sir ? Thanks.

    It basically says "no results found in your history" now I don't know why are they searching in my "history" rather than just directing me to their full database.

    you may need to reach out to MFP. Mine goes to recent but then I type in a food that is not in recent it takes me to the database. Sorry I'm not more helpful.

    Hit enter and it should give you entries for eggs.
