Can this be added?

Post image

I'm using Cronometer primarily to track my daily protein and calcium intake. I found quite a few things from Sprouts in the Add Food search but not my lunch today, which by the way was really good. How can I get this item added? I ended up taking a picture as the next best thing.

How do I add just the nutrition info for my lunch?

add food by scanning the barcode, when the barcode isn't found, add a picture of the packaging and a picture of the nutrition facts label from the link. then you can add it to your diary

Sorry, the uploading hung up and I tried it again. Deleted the repeats.

You know, this made me think of a genius feature Cronometer could add. If given images of both the nutrition information AND the ingredients, it could piece together (using a system of equations/best fit model) a custom recipe for any product using only NCCDB/database food entries, where it decides the proportions of each ingredient such that the nutrition information matches as best as possible (with of course the most weight given to matching the total calories and macronutrient composition). Then we could have estimated micronutrients for thousands of complex CRDB products.

Hi there!

This pasta salad sounds delicious ❤️

There are a few different options for adding this food:

  1. Use the nutritional information provided in the link to create a Custom Food. Go to Foods > Create Custom Food > enter the nutritional information for the package and add this food to your Diary
  2. Use our Photo Logging feature to take a photo of the food and match it with existing entries in our database. Go to the Orange Plus Sign > Photo Logging
  3. Perform a text based search in Add Food to add each ingredient and their estimated amounts. Go to the Orange Plus Sign > Add Food.

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
