Three kinds of foods
Each food carries a badge that tells you where it comes from.
Other badges you may see:
- Created by AI: the food was created during a plan import.
- Missing values: an imported food whose calories and macros were not in the source document. Fill them in before you rely on it.
- Estimated: the values are an estimate.

What the list shows depends on whether your studio uses calories or portions.- Calories
- Portions
Columns: Food name, Category, Calories, Protein, Carbs and Fat, then Actions. Under the name you see what the values refer to, for example “per 100 g”.Filter with the category pills: All, Proteins, Carbs, Vegetables, Fruits, Fats, Dairy and Beverages.

- If you change the values back to exactly what the original had, the food stops being marked as edited.

Only Studio foods have a delete button. Choose Delete and confirm. The confirmation warns that this cannot be undone. System foods cannot be deleted, edited or not.
