Adding food to favorite list

PROFG

Help. I searched and found nothing. Can a food found by searching, a retail item, be tagged as a favorite or do I have to search every time I need it? Have not tried copy/paste from previous usage which might be usable. TIA

HI - Yes, you can create a favorite with a little star icon on the bottom left as you enter a food into the diary. The searching is very picky, I think the big search engines have spoiled us.
I seem to get the best results by first trying the UPC, and if its not in the database, try the brand name before any other description. For instance, applegate before bacon etc. Once you have some favorites, or custom foods / recipes, you can narrow down the search by selecting the associated tab.

Also, its not always obvious that there might be several pages of scroll-able results; make sure you aren't just looking at the first page of search results.
