How to search for previously logged foods

Is there a way to search for previously logged foods. I am asking this question because I like eating canned tuna as a protein source. But tuna's mercury content may be a health hazard if eaten more than once per week. I wanted to eat tuna today and wanted to search for the last time I logged tuna in my diary. Is there a way to search for previously logged items, other than looking at each individual day?

  • Hi DeniseLM,

    Cronometer doesn't have a way to search previously logged items from within the diary. Thanks for your suggestion!

    You can find out by exporting your servings from the Account Settings tab. This will generate a .csv doc where you can see all your logged foods with the date you logged them.

  • I also have the need to search my data but the Account Data only has the option to delete my data. Where has the Export function been moved to? Or have you introduced another method to search our data?
    Specifically I have the need to look for comments where I had a reaction to certain foods and I want to find what I ate in the days leading up to this reaction.
    And also, I may have logged foods in the past that I now want to locate and make into a meal for logging in the future.
