Canucks and FD food searches
Hello all you Canucks out there!
Beware of the food search in the FD food log for "same" foods. I realized that many foods with the same names that we have here, do NOT have the same nutritional data.
ie: Fiber One (U.S.) and Fibre 1 are different as well as yogurt, milk, soup etc. 20 calories and 2-3 g of fat here and there, do make a difference when you add them all up at the end of the day. Also, the serving size may be different.
I also prefer an accurate account of vitamins and minerals, so I have started using the "Create a custom food" section a lot more.
