Food database

It would be nice to already have a database of foods with relative nutritional values.
In this regard, I suggest using the database of the Swiss Confederation, which is completely free also for commercial purposes.

I would love to have food items which are consumed in India. I don't see any options for dry lentils, for example.

The food recognition function overestimates calories & macros way too much — I don't know if it's because it's up to the standards of other countries or overstates the quantity but it's harmful.
For France, OpenFoodFacts is a good open access database

I currently live in Japan, would like that support Japanese food markets, and fast food chains. I think knowing the location can help to narrow the product even if put simple as “bowl of rice”, I am not expert but japanese rice or wester rice have different composition no?

The app is fantastic but the food component works poorly and often. Macro-foods are packed and I have to enter them manually, even if I send a photo of the macros and it is evaluated by artificial intelligence, it would be fantastic to have the MyFitness Pal archive, in addition, the barcode function works once in ten.
For the rest congratulations

Hi Giancarlo martorana Have you tried scanning the nutrition label? Go into Nutrition-->My Foods-->Add-->Create Custom Food-->Nutrition Label Scanner in top right corner.

Add Photo Capture for Missing Barcode Items

I would like to suggest a feature enhancement for the barcode scanning function.
Currently, when scanning a product barcode that is not found in the database, there is no option to easily record the item. It would be extremely helpful if users could take a photo of the Nutrition Facts label in such cases. The system could then allow users to manually enter or extract the nutritional information and save the item to their food log.
This feature would improve user experience by making it easier to log new or unavailable products, reduce frustration when items are not found, and help expand the product database over time.
Thank you for considering this request. I believe this enhancement would add significant value to the app.

Hi Boyy If you scan a barcode and the item isn’t found in the database, you can tap + Scan Nutrition Label to capture the details directly from the package. For a faster manual entry, you can also use Create a Custom Food under My Foods to add the item yourself.
If this doesn’t quite address your feedback, please share a bit more detail about what you’re looking for, and I’ll be happy to help!
