Select Don’t show this message again to prevent it from being shown for subsequent
items. You can then select another food item and tap Add to add it, and so on. When you
are done, tap OK to close the window (note that closing the window doesn’t add the food
in the meal).
Food items that you add are also stored in the Favorites list.
To see the selected item’s nutrients, tap the Nutrients button. You will see some
nutrients (you can select which ones via Tools > Options > Nutrients), along a colored
bar that indicates the source of the calories: blue is calories from carbohydrates, green is
from proteins, and red is from fat. This is useful to determine if the food item is rich in
some specific macro-nutrients. For instance, in Figure 12, nearly all calories are coming
from carbohydrates. If you follow a low-carb diet, you may want to consume food items
displayed with a small blue bar (i.e. low-carb food). In this example, because a low-carb
diet is selected (see section 3.1), “High carb!” is shown to let you know that this food is
possibly not suited for your diet.
The favorites food item list is accessible by tapping the Favorites button in the Food
Browser. This shows the most recent favorite food items; tap on one to select it. Using
the Favorites button is a quick way for selecting food items.
Figure 14:The Favorite Food Items window lists all your favorite food, grouped by categories.
You can search the food database by tapping the Search button . This shows the Search
window (see Figure 15). Enter a word (or part of a word) and tap Search to show the
matching food items from the food database and from your own food. Tap on one to
select it.
