The ability to add “Custom Foods” is a convenient feature that allows you to add the specific amounts of calories, carbohydrates, protein, and fat – rather than an entire meal or recipe – with ease.
Each Custom Food you create is named and then automatically saved to your personal database, to use again and again.
There are various ways to utilize this feature:
For instance, if you’re unable to locate a specific food item in the database, but know its nutritional information, you can create a Custom Food for the item.
Alternatively, if you already know the “per serving” nutritional information for a recipe from a blog, or an old family favorite that you like to make at home, you can add it as a “Custom Food”.
Next, if you have a favorite meal from a restaurant that you tend to eat regularly, or a special latte that you love to get on your way to work, you don’t have to spend the time piecing it together from the database. Instead, you can locate their nutritional information from their website and add it to your Meal Tracker as a Custom Food.
