# Your foods and recipes

> Make your own foods and recipes, change a product's details, and see where each food comes from.

Most foods come from Splot's catalogue. When one is missing or you cook something yourself, make your own. Your foods and recipes are kept in **My foods**, where only you see them.

## Make a food

![New food: photos, a name, and nutrition per 100 g, per 100 ml or per serving.](https://splot.health/docs/screens/new-food.webp)

1. Tap **Log a meal**, then **+** beside the search field.
2. Add photos if you like, and a **Name**.
3. Under **Nutrition**, choose **Per 100 g**, **Per 100 ml** or **Per serving**, and enter what the label says: energy, protein, fat and saturates, carbohydrates and sugars, fibre and salt. Leave out what you don't know.
4. Under **Portions**, add the amounts you usually have, such as a slice of 30 g.
5. Tap **Save**.

The food is saved to **My foods**, ready for this meal and the next.

## Make a recipe

A recipe is a food made of other foods. Start a new food as above, then:

1. Under **Ingredients**, tap **Add ingredient** for each food and its amount. The nutrition adds up for you.
2. Set how many servings it makes.
3. Under **Recipe**, add the time it takes and tap **Add step** for each step of the method.
4. Tap **Save**.

You log a recipe in servings. Its nutrition is per serving, added up from its ingredients.

## A food's page

![The Overnight oats recipe: a portion of one serving at 361 kcal, nutrition rings with fat unknown, and the recipe making two servings.](https://splot.health/docs/screens/recipe.webp)

Portion, nutrition and, for a recipe, how many servings it makes.

![The bottom of a recipe's page: its ingredients, three method steps, its source, and New food from this… and Delete food.](https://splot.health/docs/screens/recipe-method.webp)

Ingredients, method and source, then what you can do with it.

Tap any food to open its page: its photos, **Portion**, **Nutrition** with **All nutrients**, and for a recipe its ingredients and **Method**. Below are **On the label** (ingredients as printed on the pack), **Note** and **Source**.

- **New food from this…** starts a new food with the same details, to make a variation.
- The pencil changes a food. Changing a product from the catalogue saves your own copy in **My foods**; the shared product stays as it is.
- **Delete food** removes one of your own foods. Meals that used it stay as they are.

## Where foods come from

Each food has a small mark beside its name.

| Mark | Source |
| --- | --- |
| Leaf | **Common foods**: generic ingredients such as eggs, rice or broccoli, from national food composition tables. |
| Splot mark | **Splot database**: packaged products added to Splot. |
| Open Food Facts mark | **Open Food Facts**: packaged products from the open product database. |
| Person | A food you made. |
| Book | A recipe. |
| Assistant's mark | A food a connected assistant made for you. |

A **≈** before the calories means the values are an estimate, such as an assistant's estimate from a photo. A dash (**—**) means a nutrient is unknown: Splot never treats unknown as zero.
