In FitBudd, expanding your nutrition library is easy, and you can do so by adding food items directly from the FitBudd database. This guide will show you how to add a new food item and define multiple servings with customized unit systems to suit your clients' needs. Follow the simple steps below to enhance your nutrition library and make meal planning even more precise.
Step 1: Log Into Your FitBudd Trainer Dashboard
First, log into your FitBudd trainer dashboard. Once you're in, navigate to the "Nutrition" tab from the main menu located on the left-hand side of your dashboard. Under the "Nutrition" tab, you'll find the "Food Items" option. Click on this option to access your existing food library.
Step 2: Create a New Food Item
To add a new food item to your library, click on the blue "+" icon located in the upper-right corner of the screen. This will open a window where you can search for a food item or create a new one from scratch.
Step 3: Search and Select a Food Item from the FitBudd Database
Use the search bar to find the food item you're looking for. Once you've found the item, select it from the list.
A new window will open where you can enter the specific details for this food item.
Step 4: Enter Nutrition and Serving Information
Scroll down to the "Nutrition & Serving Info" section. This is where you’ll input the essential details for the food item, including its nutritional content and serving sizes.
Calorie Count: Enter the calorie count for the selected food item. This is crucial for accurate meal planning and tracking your clients' nutritional goals.
Unit of Measurement: Click on the drop-down menu to select the appropriate unit of measurement for the food item. FitBudd allows you to choose from multiple units such as grams, milliliters (ml), ounces, and more. This step ensures accuracy in portion control.
Multiple Serving Options: If the food item has multiple serving sizes (e.g., "1 cup" or "1 tablespoon"), you can add them here. To add multiple serving options, simply select the different serving sizes from the available list or manually enter customized serving amounts. This makes it easier to match the specific needs of your clients.
Once you have entered all the necessary details, click the "Add to my library" button.
Step 5: The Food Item is Added to Your Library
Congratulations! The new food item is now successfully added to your FitBudd nutrition library. You can use it when creating meal plans for your clients, ensuring that their food tracking is as precise and tailored as possible.
Additional Information: You can add as many new food items to your nutrition library as you need to cater to your client's dietary requirements.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please always make sure the calorie count and serving information are correct to maintain the integrity of your nutrition plans.
