Hi Malkay
It’s just confusing at first. If there’s no brand name just put whatever name you like eg ‘apple’ then apple again in description. Then on the next page, calories. It’s obviously good if you put on all the other optional nutrients which you can google for. Then MFP will monitor all your intake of all nutrients. It’s a bit of work but only once for each thing then you ve got it there.

pmshrink – thanks for that. But I am obviously being really stupid. I have just tried it again. I go to ‘My Foods’, then ‘Create New Food’ . Then there are only 3 options, including brand name and serving size???? How do I add a food when there is no brand name etc? Sorry to be so stupid!

hi Malkay. Honestly you’re not being stupid, they should make it clearer. I’ve been doing g it for a few years do have got used to it.
If you want to make a ‘food’ and it has no brand name, just put in what would help you. It might be ‘Apple’ or ‘medium apple ‘ etc. Or I’ve put in some things I have at the local cafe ( the sleepy owl) such as ‘the sleepy owl salad nicoise’ then in the description you could put
‘Apple’ again or ‘salad nicoise’ – it’s just so it’s easy to find them. You will end up with a list. You search in the search box or scroll through the list.
After you ve done the description go to the next page and pug in calories and other nutrients which is useful as MFPwill then monitor you’re input of all nutrients. You can google for the nutrients. It’s a bit of work but inly once for each item then it’s there every time.
Let me know how you get on
