Food List

Is there a limit to how many foods you can have in your list? (I only use the computer, because half the time I add things on the phone, they don't add to my daily total.) There are several items that don't appear in my list, no how many times I select them from the database. The first couple of times, I thought it was just a glitch. But since I haven't been able to add a new food for several days, I started to wonder if there was a limit to how many foods can be on the list.

    In the app there's a soft limit to how many meals/recipes can be displayed due to storage limitations, but it's around 250 items. The website doesn't have this issue though and should have your entire list available.

    This is a low probability thing, but also check your settings for searching. I can't be super specific about how-tos without knowing whether you're using the phone/tablet app, even whether that's Apple/Android; or using the web browser version.

    There are settings that will show you any food you've entered before in any meal (semi-recently) no matter what meal you're adding the food to, and other settings that will only show you (for example) foods for lunch that you've previously logged for lunch (but not foods you've previously logged for a different meal). I'm wondering if that might be part of the effect you're seeing here. Maybe not, but mentioning it just in case.
