Use Quick Add shortcuts

Create one-tap shortcuts for things you have often, by describing them or by hand, in Manage Quick Add. Tap one on the Nutrition tab to log it as a snack.

Quick Add is a row of shortcuts on the Nutrition tab for small things you have often, such as coffee with milk or a piece of fruit. Tap one and it is logged as a snack for today. You set them up in Manage Quick Add.

Steps

  1. On the Nutrition tab, tap the sliders icon next to Quick Add, or Manage quick add when the row is empty.
  2. Tap Add to open New Quick Add.
  3. Under Describe your item, type it, for example “coffee with milk”, and tap the sparkle button.
  4. Or tap Add manually and enter the Name, Quantity and Calories yourself.
  5. Check the values and tap Save.
  6. Drag a shortcut by its handle to reorder the list.
  7. Swipe a shortcut to the left to remove it, and tap Undo to bring it back.
  8. Back on the Nutrition tab, tap a shortcut to log it.

Manage Quick Add with shortcuts such as Beer (330ml) 153 kcal marked Manual and Coffee with Milk 30 kcal marked AI, each with a drag handle

What you see

Each shortcut is marked AI or Manual. Tap one in Manage Quick Add to edit it. A shortcut made with AI is also added to My Ingredients, so your meals can use it.

Limits

Describing a shortcut uses one text analysis: 15 per 30-day cycle on Free, 200 on Pro, doubled on Free in your first week. Shortcuts made by hand and every tap to log are free.

If it does not work

  • “Couldn’t find that. Try different words or add manually.”
  • “An item with this name already exists”. Pick another name or edit the existing one.
  • “AI needs internet. Log manually.” Use Add manually instead.
