Create a new food
Could some one please tell me why and how can I fix my problem. I have quite a few foods in my create list, for some reason yesterday, all the carb amounts have gone to zero. They were all there the day before, I tried entering the food again and still dosent show the carb amount. Ive spent a lot of time putting these in, can any one help, what do I need to do
Thanks
Thanks

Creating Custom Foods by Linking Ingredients
I would like to have the ability to create custom foods by linking or clustering other foods in the database that are the ingredients. For example, if every morning I have an egg white, veggie, and feta cheese omelet, rather than searching and adding each ingredient separately, I'd like to create a custom food called "Egg white, veggie, and feta cheese omelet" by linking egg whites, veggies, and feta cheese just one time, so that in the future all I'd have to select is the "Egg white, veggie, and feta cheese omelet" custom food.

Thanks, but I meant I'd like to have this as a feature of the product, rather than having to do it manually. If I just enter the totals that show on the food log, I won't have any of the nutrient information added to my nutrients report.

Nutrient info
It is rather cumbersome, especially since you need to delete the stuff from the next day's log if you don't eat the same things again, but if you click the nutrition tab on the report box below the actual food log, it gives you the rest of the info to put into the custom food creator.
I do, however, have a problem with the creator function at the moment... I click "Create" and it acts as if I've clicked "cancel", going straight back to my food log without creating the food. I have a LOT of custom foods, so maybe I've reached the limit or something? I don't know if there IS a limit, but I can't see any reason for the failure?
