Hi Trot,
Just click the "Add a food not in our database button", then enter the nutrition information, and you're all set!

| How can I get an item added to the food database? Through you? I love the create a meal feature. Didn't realize it was so new. And the cupboard is very handy.
|

|
| Yea, the meal quantity comes in helpful if you add a recipe, and just ate part of it.
|
|
|
|
Yay, it's working! :)
Thanks guys.
Also, thanks for adding the meal quantity option. Very helpful. :)

Hey Kiddo,
Check it out now. I think it should be working...thanks to my collegue Andy!

Yes, it's still happening. Sorry, I should've given you more detail.
When I add the item (say .5 cups milk), it shows up as a fractional amount. However, when I add it to my menu it comes out as a whole number (1 cup of milk). Then, when I go back to edit the meal it shows up as a whole number. I can change it back all I want, but it appears to actually be stored as an integer.

Hey Kiddo,
Thanks again! I fixed the nutrition amounts problem, but I'm not able to reproduce the other problem you're having with fractions when creating a meal. Is it still happening with these changes I just made? Thanks!

Thanks for helping us out Kiddo! I just yelled over to Josh to take a look at this one.

Here's another one that may or may not be related. It seems that you can't put decimal quantities into Create a Meal. It just rounds them to the nearest integer.
Thanks for the quick response :)

| Hello Kiddo...I'm working on it right now. Thanks for the heads up!

Okay, there's definitely something buggy going on with the create a meal display.
When I add an item, the values that are displayed are not the accurate values for that item at that quantity. For instance, I added 1 tbsp of Reduced Fat Peanutbutter to a meal, which should be 90 calories. However, it is displaying as 180 calories. I tried this out with several other food items, and it appears that the values being displayed on this page may be equal to the quantity entered times the default serving for the particular item. So, if I enter 14 grams of Baker's semi-sweet chocolate, instead of displaying 70 calories it displays 980 calories (14 x 14 grams).
Also, once I was done adding food and at the name the item page, I selected to have the meal added to my menu as a snack. It then returned to my menu, but the values for all the newly-added items were 0. However, if I add the meal manually, the values are correct.

Ah, but be careful saying such things to me, because I'll just keep pointing things out. Like how when you add something to your food for the day from the "meals" section, the meal you're working on isn't sticky like it is when you just add an individual food item.
Also, any thoughts on adding a quantity option when you add a meal to your daily menu? I'm lazy so I'm using it to hold things like toast (bread + margarine) or maybe chocolate milk (milk + chocolate syrup), and as it is I can only add those one at a time. So if I had 2 pieces of toast, I'd have to add that twice.

| No problem! Your wish is our command. :)

|
| Thanks for fixing the sorting! :)

|
| The new feature is *very* cool (especially now that it stopped giving me errors when adding a meal to my food for the day). However, I noticed that the meals don't seem to be sorted alphabetically. Was this on purpose, or just an oversight?

Good job! I really like this feature!
|
|
|
|
| FANTASTIC! This is what I would've liked fromthe beginning! I enjoyed tracking my food and seeing all the counts figured out but it got very tiresome every day to put in each breakfast or lunch item by item when I hoped there was some way I could put common groups in at a time--same as coffee with cream or people that like coffee with cream & sugar--should just take one entry not two or three. Thanks for constantly improving! We really appreciate all your help.

| We have just finished a new feature for the food tracking pages. You can now create and save a meal to use later. For example, you could have an apple, a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich, and a glass of milk saved and easily inserted into you daily foods. CHECK IT OUT!!!
