hi - i think it's under the food tab - but you can create your own recipes, and the program will automatically calculate the protein/carbs/fat in your food - for example - i made a new recipe called Tomato Soup - i entered that it would serve 5, then added the ingredients from the database - a can of diced tomatoes and raw…
