The Food views hold your gym's food library. A food is one ingredient or product, for example "Chicken breast" or "Skyr, Arla", with its nutrition values per 100 g.

You use foods as the ingredients of recipes. The Dashboard calculates the nutrition of a recipe from the foods in it and their amounts. Members can also log meals against the same library.

In the Dashboard menu, open Nutrition, then Foods. Nutrition also holds Nutrition plans, Nutrition templates and Recipes. The "New food" button is in the top right of the page.

The card above the table has four filters. If you change a filter, the table goes back to the first page.

Each food has a source chip. The source tells you who owns the food and if you can change it.

You can use foods from all four sources in your recipes. You can change only the Chain foods. In the list, the Edit and Delete buttons of System foods are gray, and the tooltip says "System foods are read-only".

The food form has two columns, the left column holds the cards that you fill in and the right column holds a live summary and the language.

The extra nutrients stay hidden until you click "Add saturated fat, fiber, sugar, and sodium". If a food already has one of these values, they show at once.

The summary card shows the kcal per 100 g in large type, and the grams of protein, carbs and fat. Under each macro, it shows the share of the energy from that macro.

A colored bar shows the same split. The card updates while you type.

The summary counts 4 kcal per gram of protein and carbs, and 9 kcal per gram of fat. These shares come from the macros, not from the kcal field. If the kcal field and the macros do not agree, look again at the label on the package.

All nutrition values are per 100 g of the food. Copy them from the nutrition label on the package.

Before you create a food, search the food list for it. A System food can already exist, and you can use it in a recipe without changes.

The Dashboard shows "Create success!" and opens the food list. The new food has the source Chain.

A portion is a household measure with a fixed weight, for example "1 scoop" of 30 g or "1 slice" of 25 g. In a recipe, a coach can pick a portion instead of typing grams.

To remove a portion, click the trash bin next to it. Two portions of the same food cannot have the same name.

The Dashboard shows "Update success!" and opens the food list.

You can edit only foods with the source Chain. If you open a System, Member or External food, the page shows "This food is read-only". You can use such a food in recipes, but you cannot change it. If a System food has wrong values, create a Chain food with the correct values and use it instead.

The base name is the name in the language of the Language card. Translations let members who use another language see the name in their language.

Supported languages are English, Danish, German, Spanish, Finnish, Faroese, French, Norwegian, Dutch and Swedish. If a translation field is empty, the base text shows. The food list and the recipe search find a food by its base name and by its translated names.

If you change the base language to the language of the open tab, the card opens another tab.

Delete archives the food (hides it from the food search). The food is not removed from the database.

An archived food does not show in the ingredient search of the recipe form. To find it again, turn on "Show archived" in the food list. Archived rows are pale and have an "Archived" label. To restore a food, click the Restore button in its row.

You can delete and restore only Chain foods.

A food goes into a recipe as an ingredient. Each ingredient row in the recipe form holds one food and its weight in grams. You make two choices for each row: which food, and how you give the amount.

The search shows your Chain foods first, then the System foods. It finds foods by the base name and by translated names in your Dashboard language. It does not show archived foods.

Use this way if the food is not in the library. You stay in the recipe, and your unsaved recipe changes stay in the form.

The dialog closes, and the new food is in the row. The other rows of the recipe can also find it in their search. The dialog has no Translations card. To add translations, open the food later from the food list.

Type the weight of the food in the recipe in Grams, for example 150. The grams must be above 0. The nutrition totals come from this value.

If the food has portions, the row also shows a Portion field and a Quantity field.

The row fills in Grams (here 60) and the Amount label (here "2 × 1 scoop"). The recipe saves the grams, not the portion. If you change the portion of the food later, the recipe keeps its grams. To go back to grams only, pick "Grams only".

The Amount label is free text, for example "1 cup". It shows a kitchen measure to the member. It does not change the nutrition totals.

The order of the rows is the order of the ingredients in the recipe. Use the up and down arrows to move a row. Use the red trash bin to remove a row.

When you save the recipe, the server calculates these values from the foods and the grams:

For example, a recipe with one Vegan food and one Vegetarian food is not Vegan. A recipe with milk in one food has the Dairy allergen.

The nutrition and the derived allergens show only after you save the recipe the first time. If the derived allergens or diets are wrong, turn on "Override allergens" or "Override dietary styles" and pick the values by hand. The manual values replace the derived values when you save.

If you change a food, the saved totals of the recipes that use it do not change at once. The server calculates the totals again when you save the recipe. After you correct a food, open each recipe that uses it and save it again.

A food can also go into a nutrition template without a recipe. A sample meal row has a "Meal source" switch: Recipe or Food. If you pick Food, you search your foods and pick one, for example "Banana". Each sample meal holds a recipe or a food, never both. If you change the switch, the row clears its pick.
