If an existing food product is missing meaningful portion information, such as “piece”, “pack” or “slice”, you can add one or more portion sizes to this product. This way, both you and the Fddb community can make diary entries even faster.
The following portion sizes are available to you:
--> cup, can, tablespoon, bottle, jar, capsule, packet, bar, slice, piece, tablet, cup, teaspoon and drop.
To add a portion size to an existing product entry in the app:
On the product detail page, press “Add portion sizes” under the existing portion details. A window will open in which you can add the desired portion size and the corresponding weight. After you have clicked on “Add”, the new portion size will appear in the list below with the note “New”.
Now you can either ...
--> add another portion size,
--> save the entry or
--> delete the portion size you have created using the trash can symbol if you have made a mistake when entering it.
Even if you create a new product in the database in the app, you can save several portion sizes.
Please note:
This function is not available on the Fddb website.
Here, after clicking on “Correct data”, you can still enter the desired portion sizes via the free text field. Our editorial team then enters the portion size into the system.
