Food Diary Tracker Nutrition Info Search

[CSNuts]

Food Diary Tracker Nutrition Info Search is not very accurate.  For example, if you search for "chicken" you get very few entries.  However if you search for "chicken, broilers" you get all of the normal entries for chicken from the USDA database.  Is there anything you can do to make the search locate more results?  I would think a search for "chicken" would include ALL entries for chicken.  This might also cut down a little on the custom entries.

On a lighter note, the Food Diary is a very handy tracker!

CSNuts - That's a great observation. We realize that we need to make some enhancements to the Food Diary (and search within the Food Diary). We'll try to get this fixed and let you know when it's available.

purplekedi - We try to include as much information as possible, including vitamins and minerals. Many of the foods are entered by users and they choose to include or exclude vitamins and minerals. When we review these user-entered foods, we will add in any missing items, like Vitamins and Minerals.

Thanks,

I aggree, and also, if you could keep in mind that the food diary tracker is not only used by people who are trying to gain/lose weight. It would be wonderful if more items included more information on the vitamins and minerals included and not just the calories, carbohydrates and fats etc... I use it because many foods interfere with my meds... Just a thought! Thank you.

Yes, it is very handy and I am grateful someone's thought of it!
