Would You Please Add a Spot to Input Sugar Alcohols in Nutrition Information?

In order to calculate Net Carbs accurately, the food item will need to have Carbohydrates, Fiber and Sugar Alcohols present. This is particularly important for Carbohydrates, as we cannot make the calculation without it. We do currently support the input of sugar alcohols for food items for this reason.

Things to Note:
Verified (check-marked foods) cannot be edited by users. Please let us know if your food has a green check mark next to it.
When you edit an item in the database, you are effectively creating a new food item. If you have logged the original item in the past, the "version" visible in your Most Used or Frequent list is likely the original version. Adding the item from those shortcut lists will add the original values to your diary. For best results, add the item from your "My Foods" list to ensure you are logging the edited version.
The US handles nutrition labeling different than the rest of the world. They show the total Carbohydrates value as opposed to Net Carbs (International labels). This is why our Net Carbs feature only applies to the US and foods in our database that are created in the US.

What does this mean? If you log an item from the database that was not created in the US, the Net Carb calculation would be incorrect. International foods and labels cause the Net Carbs calculation to be off because the Net Carb value has already been taken into account. We recommend trying to replace the item with a different entry.


We appreciate your help as we continue to improve our database.
