  1. Open Food and tap Create custom food.
  2. Enter the Name, optional Brand, the Serving size & unit, the gram weight, and the nutrition from the label or another trusted source. Optionally add a Barcode.
  3. Tap Save.

ZapFit doesn't invent values for custom foods; they're exactly what you enter.

Build a recipe

  1. Open Food and tap New recipe.
  2. Name it, then add Ingredients: search for each food and set the amount.
  3. Set how many servings it makes.
  4. Tap Save recipe.

ZapFit calculates per-serving totals. To log it, open the recipe and tap Log one serving, or choose an amount.

You can also turn something you logged into a recipe with Make recipe, or save a meal with Save as recipe.
