Log packaged food from a barcode
Scan or type a product's barcode to log packaged food with its name and nutrition filled in.
For packaged food, a barcode lookup fills in the product name and its nutrition for you.
Steps
- Open your Food log and find the Add food card.
- In the meal list beside Look up, choose Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner or Snack.
- Select Scan barcode and point your camera at the barcode. Once it reads the code, the product is looked up and logged.
- No scan button, or the camera won't read it? Type the number into Or type the barcode and select Look up.
Good to know
- Scan barcode only appears in browsers that can read barcodes with the camera. Typing the number works everywhere.
- Product figures are per 100 g, and they're logged as one serving.
- If nothing matches, you'll see No match. Type the name instead. Then use Type it in myself to enter it by hand.
- Select Scan barcode again to turn the camera off.
