| The food dropdown list on the nutrition log entry page accepts free text entry and then searches a database of over 7000 foods from the USDA and many additional foods added by our members for a match. If you are unable to locate your food by typing the first bit of it in the dropdown, try typing another part of the food. For example say you are looking for mashed potatoes. If you type in 'mashed potatoes' you will actually get back a few results, most of which are tv dinners that include mashed potatoes. But, you are looking for homemade mashed potatoes. Try typing in just the word 'potato'. You will get a ton of results like potato chips, babyfood with potato flavor, fast foods, soup, etc. Scroll through and you're bound to find what you want (for this example, 'potatoes, mashed, home-prepared, whole milk and butter added'). If you are unable to locate your food, which is quite possible for many off-the-shelf packaged items. Simply click the icon next to the dropdown box and enter the information off the food label to create a custom food.
