How do I log a food that isn’t in the database (new product vs my recipe)?

Modified on Fri, 24 Oct at 2:58 PM

Quick Answer

Use “Create new product” with packaging photos for packaged foods, or build a “My Recipe” by combining existing ingredients. The app is online-only (no offline logging).

Context

“Custom food” isn’t a separate object. You can add **New Product** (packaged) or **My Recipe** (your combination).

How it works

1. New Product: add photos (front, ingredients list, nutrition facts); AI extracts fields (name, brand, quantity, serving size, ingredients, nutrition facts)

2. My Recipe: create a recipe by combining items from the database and saving it

3. Reuse later from your saved items

Good to know

• Ingredient creation outside of products/recipes is handled via support for now

• Saved items speed up future logging

• The app requires an online connection (no offline mode)
