Custom Foods and Recipes

Create Custom food when you do not find your food in the catalog. You can also create a Recipe, which can have cooking instructions or can simply list ingredients of your favorite food like salad, bagel & cheese etc.





My Foods collections allow you to manage your Custom foods and Recipes:



Immediate Analysis based on Plan

Relate your actual food and exercise calories to your Weight Loss Plan. Check distribution of calories among macronutrients. Analyse consumed nutrients using your personal Nutrient Targets. Find "champion" meals and individual foods - the largest contributors of calories and nutrients.







Log Quick Calories

You can simply log calories without finding a food. Many people lose weight by planning and tracking calories only. Please be advised that logging Quick Calories disables nutrient planning and analysis required for a healthy diet.





Same Foods In The Meal

Select and log foods from yesterday's meal:
