4.1 Entering Meals
To enter a meal, go to the Today screen and tap the Meal button, or go to the Journal
tap the Meal and Add buttons.
Figure 9: The Meal screen allows you to enter food items for a meal.
It consist of four sections: meal items, nutrients, extra servings and a note.
Depending on the time of the day, a type of meal will automatically be selected based on
your meal schedule (section 5.4); you can change it if need be.
Entering Food Items
Tap on Add Food Item to add an item (more about this below). Tap on an item to edit it.
Tap the Delete button on the left to remove a food item.
You will later see how food items can be combined in dishes. Initially, the Dishes list is
empty the first time you use MyPersonalDiet, but once dishes are created, you can select
them next to Dishes and tap Add to Meal for their food items to be added to the list.
When you tap Add Food Item from the Meal window, the Food Browser is shown (see
Figure 10). This is the principal window by which you enter the food you consume.
Food Browser
To select a food item in the Food Browser (Figure 10), first select a food group, a
category and then choose a food item. Upon choosing an item, the calories (or
kilojoules), points, and the energy from carbs, protein and fat are displayed, along a pie
chart. In Figure 10, because a low-carb diet is selected (see section 5.1), “High carbs!” is
shown to let you know that this food is possibly not suited for your diet.
Select these tabs to enter
specific food items for
the meal, see nutritional
information, enter
additional servings, or
enter a note.
Dishes allow you to
combine food items
together. You can later
enter a dish by selecting it
and tapping Add to Meal.
