manually add food

[mbranson]

Hey Jeff.

I just added a Taco John's meat and potato burrito to my food list
with the manual add button, and thanks to the nutrition pdf from TJ's
web site, I was able to enter values for all of the fields listed.
But when I view the new items in the "my foods" list, it has zeroes
for all of the values (calories, fat, etc.).

Perhaps this is still a feature under development. ???

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the question. Should work. I can't see your private
entries, so it is hard to know what my be the issue. However, I
entered it for myself, and it worked. Here is what my Add Food dialog
looked like:

Let me know if this solves the problem.

Best,

Hi Again,

One more thought, for what it's worth. In the screen shot of the
dialog you might notice that I chose a Taco Bell Bean Burrito as a
photo to represent the Taco John's burrito. This was because it was
the burrito that most closely matched the weight of the Taco John's
one. Just in case you might have wondered why I picked that one.

Cheers,

-Jeff

Wait, not done yet...

I forgot that it might not be obvious how to edit a manual food entry
you have already saved. To do this, right click on the item in My
Foods and choose "Edit Nutrition Info..." from the context menu.
