Food list - is there a basic food list upload

The list of foods that appear for me to select is very small. For example, I had ground beef last night. I assumed that would already be in the list but I had to add it. Am I missing a download of basic foods? Thank you!

    I'm wondering how you are looking for food to add to your diary, because the list is absolutely enormous with some foods even having multiple entries.
    Are you using the website via a browser or are you using the app? You don't need to download anything, you just need to use the search option.

    Are you using the search function?

    I get more than a hundred entries when I search for "ground beef" (possibly multiple hundreds -- I just stopped counting at 100). Those are all in the common database everyone on MFP uses.

    Are you using the app? Are you limiting the search to "my foods" instead of "all"?
