Overview

The Foods Library is where you pick foods for plans. You also have the Meal Library, with ready-made meals to reuse across plans without rebuilding them.

Find foods

  • Search by name.
  • In the Online tab: search an external foods database by name, or use Scan barcode to find a specific product.

Nutrition values are shown per serving (quantity and unit — for example 100 g, 1 unit, or 1 slice).

Create your own food

  1. Click Add and choose Create Manually.
  2. Enter the macros and save. The food stays in your own space only; the public library is managed by the MyFitnessClient team.
The Meal Library stores complete meals (with their foods and macros) that you can drop into several plans at once.
