Same issue. New to the iPhone app but I can't find any option to add a food, I can search but if it isn't there the option to add doesn't exist, please help
oh, there it is! that little bitty box! Thanks!!!
I think you're skipping the select a food first option.
First either Find a food and select it or Add a new food.
Then ... once you've selected or added a food, go to the Specify Serving box.
There's a tick box with the legend "Add to My Foods" above the quantity amount and the green Add button. If you don't click the box, the food will show up in your meal or snack for that day, but it won't be added to your Show My Foods list.
