It's helpful for basic foods like rice and fruit but most branded foods on the database are American.

Fantastic Martin, thank you for adding this. My only suggestion would be to make it more obvious that it exists. I could have used this so long ago but I just now realized that it exists!

This is a database of foods that makes it easy to enter items into Simple Diet Diary, It contains calorie counts that autofill. Like most such databases, it has a lot of items you wish weren't there and is missing some you wish were. But it's easy to modify or add new items and these appear on the autosuggest list. It's also easy to modify portions and calorie counts. This is a highly-useful -- I'd even say essential -- add on to the Simple Diet Diary app, If your main goal is counting calories, this will do the job.

My main app does not seem to recognize its presence. EDIT after reply from the developer: The search button does invoke the plug-in. Upgraded to three stars to reflect my neutral opinion (so far) on the usefulness of the data itself. I installed the main app and the plug-in at the same time, and I just assumed the search button was a generic search of my entered data (which, in retrospect, would be duplicative, given the behavior of the name field). The use of a generic search icon made the plug-in TOO unobtrusive, and it was not obvious to me that the two were connected, though it makes sense after you point it out. Perhaps I failed to RTFM somewhere along the way. :) I have not tested the content of the plug-in to determine its usefulness for my situation.

Brilliantly successful 5:2 diet strategy -Has upper (5:), lower (:2) limit lines and 30 day averaging (orange) line -Allows making a boosted weight graph (as added Nutrient) for tracking weight loss to a goal (True - Goal) graph -Weight minus Goal gives large changes in graph bars -It turns out there is a FOUR DAY LAG between eating and weight gain (or loss) -My (5:) is 1500 Calories, my (:2) is 600 Cal my average 1260 Cal and LOSS is ½ kg a week -☆- Use NO sugar, flour product or white starch
