9
to enter the first few letters of the name of the food. (For further instructions on

e) When the correct food is displayed, press the ENTER key
f)

TIP:
i. For your convenience, the last twenty foods you have entered are stored in a 'quick
search' facility. Use the UP and DOWN keys (instead of typing) to search through
9
these foods.
ii. To find foods quickly type the most specific word to describe the food. e.g. if
searching for EDAM CHEESE; typing the word EDAM will find the food faster than
typing the word CHEESE. The reason for this is that CHEESE has many variations and
you will have to scroll through the CHEESE list to find CHEESE EDAM, which may be
more time consuming!
NOTE: Some of the nutritional categories may appear blank if data is unavailable for
10
that particular food.
