Hey, thanks for the app. I've been playing around with it. Looks great. Interface seems snappy. I could use some advice on how to actually use it. Ok here goes.... How do I enter an egg? Entry defaults to 100g. I tried serving, piece for units. I don't really measure eggs. I've linked to the OFF and USDA databases. Unless it's something I measure, entry feels wonky. What's the best way to do this?
Hey, thanks for trying it out!
For things you don't measure by weight (eggs being the classic example), the easiest path is to make a local entry once and then reuse it. A few ways to go about it.
The nutrition label on your egg carton is your friend here. It'll show you the serving size, usually 1 large egg at around 50g, plus the full breakdown (calories, protein, fat, carbs). Tap the + on the Foods page, type those numbers in, set Serving size to 50 and Unit to "grams". From then on, logging eggs is just typing "Quantity: 2" in the diary and the math takes care of itself.
For irregularly-sized stuff like apples or bananas, a kitchen scale is honestly the easiest path. A medium apple can swing anywhere from 130g to 220g, so weighing it once and typing the gram count gets you accurate numbers without needing a separate per-piece entry for every size.
One thing worth knowing about OFF and USDA results: the "100g" you see is just the per-100g nutrition density. That's how those databases store everything, it's a baseline reference, not a forced serving size. So you can either weigh your food and type the grams directly, or edit the entry to change the portion and unit (say to "1 piece" or "1 cup") and the totals rescale.
Once you've dialed in a handful of items you eat regularly, day-to-day logging gets a lot faster. The new Favorites and Most Used sort in rc.19 will float your top items to the top of the Foods page automatically.
Thanks for the response!. Looking forward to trying it out in conjunction with Mealie! Cheers!
