How do I manually add a product?

If you can't find a product you're looking for in the database, there are a couple of ways you can manually add this to your diary.

In the app

If the item has a barcode:

  1. Tap the barcode scanner icon in your diary (to the left of the search bar at the top).
  2. Select Add this product.
  3. Tap the camera icons to upload images of your product as instructed (or press skip at the bottom).
  4. Fill in the boxes provided, then tap the arrow in the top right corner to proceed.
  5. Enter the nutritional information, then select a meal occasion at the bottom so it gets entered into your diary.

If the item doesn't have a barcode:

  1. Tap the blue menu button in your diary (to the right of the search bar at the top).
  2. Select Manually Added > Add New Food.
  3. Repeat steps 4 and 5 above.

Any items you manually add to your account will be saved for future use too. You can find them either via the search bar in your diary, or via the blue menu button > Manually Added > Previously Added. For a quick one off entry to your diary, tap the blue menu button in your diary > Quick Add.

On the website

  1. Go to your diary page and click Manually Added on the left hand side from the Add Food/Drink panel.
  2. Click the green Add new food button at the top of the page.

For a quick one off entry to your diary select the Quick Add option.
