Find Foods in the Food Database

Nutrition › Food Database holds the foods you can log without typing their nutrients: the USDA’s FoodData Central Foundation Foods, shared by everyone, and the foods you add yourself.

Search

Type in Search foods. A food is found by the start of each word of its name, in any order, so “bre chi” would find a food named “Chicken, breast”. Your favorites come first, then the foods you ate most recently.

Beside the search, Foods shown narrows the list:

• All
• Favorites, the foods you’ve starred
• My foods, the ones you added
• Catalog, the USDA’s

See a Food’s Nutrients

Choose a food to see its nutrients Per 100 g, and For This Amount: set an Amount in grams or one of its portions, such as a cup or a slice, with its weight. Nutrients are named plainly here, such as “Protein” or “Vitamin C”.

Each nutrient a USDA food lists is one Kaizora tracks exactly; the USDA’s other values are left out.

Log It

Choose Log on the food. Its log dialog opens with the amount you set. See Log a Food.

Star Your Favorites

Choose the star beside any food to make it a favorite, or again to remove it. Favorites come first wherever you search for a food.

Your Own Foods

Add custom food, above the list, adds a food of your own. Your foods have a menu to Edit or Delete them; the USDA’s can’t be changed. See Add a Custom Food.
