Getting Started

Entering your daily food intake

To enter your daily food intake first select a meal by clicking on a meal subtotal line

To open a line for food entry simply start typing the food name.

As you type the dropdown list shows the list of matching foods in the database, the search works by finding words that match the first characters of the words you have entered so to find an entry with the words 'orange juice' we have entered simply 'or ju' to narrow the search.

Continue to type to narrow the search until you can see the food you are looking for, once found select it by using the up/down arrow keys (or simply click on the entry) then press tab to go to the quantity field.

Type the quantity and use the up/down arrow keys to select the correct units

When finished press tab to complete the quantity entry and go to the next line.

As you continue to enter your food intake in this way the meal and day totals are updated and summary information is refreshed.

See the Food View help page for more information on how to use the food log.
