What should I do if I can’t find the food I want to log in my Diary?
The fatsecret food database is extensive for both branded and generic items. However, sometimes a food may not appear when searching. When this happens, please double-check your search term. If you're still unable to find the specific food you're looking for, you can add it as a new food item:
- Open the Diary tab.
- Tap the Search icon and look for your food.
- If the exact food is not in the search results, scroll down and select Add New Food.
- Enter all the required details, including the food name, serving size, and nutritional information.
- In the Brand field, choose whether the food is a Branded Food or My Custom Food Entry:
- Selecting Branded Food submits the food for review and may make it available to all users (subject for approval).
- Choosing My Custom Food Entry keeps the food private and accessible only to you.
- Tap Save to add the food to your diary.
