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:

  1. Open the Diary tab.
  2. Tap the Search icon and look for your food.
  3. If the exact food is not in the search results, scroll down and select Add New Food.
  4. Enter all the required details, including the food name, serving size, and nutritional information.
  5. 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.
  6. Tap Save to add the food to your diary.
