Adding Food to Daily Log - HELP
 

This is my first time using this site. When I was logging in my daily food, for instance:

1. Red Grapefruit - Del Monte

OR

2. Dannon Light & Fit Yogurt

The database didn't recognize these items and I had to input everything manually. I couldn't even find pepper jack cheese. :confused:

I've been on others that will pull the item right up.

Is it user error??

Thanks

The search engine here is not the best. I have found that sometimes fewer words work better.

I searched for 'grapefuit' and found both white and pink/red raw and as juice. You probably won't find brand names on produce items.

The closest I could come for Pepper Jack cheese was searching for 'jack'. This gave me Cheese, Colby Jack. When I browsed for Cheese (under Dairy) I also only found Colby Jack.

I almost always browse for meat items instead of searching. I find it quicker.

I find custom entering items useful as I really think about how much Salt, etc. these products have in them, and how to rationally cut back some (amazing, some of it).

For food nutrition facts I browse by item + nutrition facts, then print out the details and enter into Fitday (Way too much time on my hands LOL).

I've also found that their food database is not as complete as other sites. I was wondering if anyone knew how often - if ever - their food database gets udpated with new items?
