How to start tracking
In order to track your food you have two options to start the process of tracking food to a specific meal:
- Click on the "+" at the bottom of the Diary, then choose the meal you would like to track
- Click on the "+" in the meal section
(Note: this works when the meal is still empty AND when you have already tracked food for a meal)
As soon as you have chosen the meal to track for, you come to the next screen (for a new user that screen is still empty, a user who had already tracked earlier will see the tracking history):
A new user who has not tracked anything yet will see the following:
A user who has already tracked earlier will see his tracking history for the Recent, Favorites and You have tracked area:
THE DIFFERENT TRACKING SECTIONS:
Search bar: type a name for food you are searching for - the search results will show you matches from the food database as well as matches from your Favorites (items you have created yourself under Favorites - than can be food items, meals, recipes)
Barcode scanner: to scan a barcode of a product, please tap on the barcode icon
Progress bar: this section is keeping you updated about your progress with kcal and macros

Three dots top right hand: here you find a submenu offering you to choose from even more practical features - as soon as you tap here, you find the following options:
