The My Foods List Dialog contains your custom short list of eaten foods. The primary use of the list is for selecting eaten foods.

Note that this dialog has dual purposes. It can be invoked from the Main Window to maintain your food items, adding, importing, updating or deleting.

It is also invoked in Select mode from the Food Eaten Dialog. In this case you use it to select the food you ate from your custom list. If the food is not on your list, you will need to add or import it.

By default, foods in this list are sorted according to their usage. Foods you eat often will appear at the top of the list for easy selection. Alternatively, you can click on any of the column headings on the list to sort by that column. Click the column label again to reverse the sort. Click the Sort by Usage button to return to the usage-based sort.

Select a food Category using the drop list box. Only foods in the selected category are shown, or use the first entry in the list, ALL Categories, to see everything. If showing a specific category, you can click the All button show all categories.

The quick jump buttons above the list will help you quickly find the food you want to select. Click the letter to jump to the first food starting with that letter. Click again to go to the next. If the letter is grayed out, there are no foods in your list starting with that letter.

Use the Find feature to search the item descriptions for a word, part of a word or phrase. Click the Go button or just press Enter to jump to the next item that matches.

If you are in Select mode, you can highlight an item and click the Select button, or just double-click an item to complete the selection.
