How to Save a Food to My Library and Re-Log It

The My Library / Saved Foods tab, how to save any scanned or described food for reuse, and how to log from your library.

2 min read

My Library is your personal food database inside Nutrify. Any food you scan, describe, or import can be saved here for instant re-logging without re-analyzing. This article covers how to save foods and how to log from your library.

Opening My Library

Tap the Library icon in the bottom navigation bar, or tap + on the home screen and select My Library.

The My Library screen has two tabs:

  • Foods - your saved food items and custom recipes
  • Exercises - your saved exercises (covered separately)

How to Save a Food to Your Library

You can save any food at the point of logging:

After a Photo Scan or Text Description

  1. After Nutrify analyzes your food, you see the result with the nutrition breakdown.
  2. Before tapping Log, tap the Save to Library button (bookmark icon).
  3. The food is saved under the name Nutrify detected. You can rename it.

After a Barcode Scan

  1. After a barcode is scanned and the product is shown, tap Save to Library if you want to keep it for future use.

After a Recipe Import

  1. On the Recipe Review screen, tap Save to Library instead of (or in addition to) logging.
  2. The full recipe is saved as a single library entry.
💡 Saving a food does not log it - it just stores it. You still need to tap Log to add it to today's food diary.

Logging a Food from Your Library

  1. Open My Library and go to the Foods tab.
  2. Browse or use the search bar at the top to find the food.
  3. Tap the food card to see its details.
  4. Tap Log to add it to today's diary.
  5. Adjust the portion size if needed before confirming.

Editing a Saved Food

  1. Tap a food card in the library.
  2. Tap the Edit button.
  3. Change the name, calories, macros, or portion size.
  4. Save the changes - the updated version is what gets logged next time.

Deleting a Saved Food

Swipe left on a food card or tap the delete icon inside the food detail view to remove it from your library. This only removes it from your saved library - past log entries remain unchanged.

Search and Filtering

The search bar at the top of the Foods tab searches by food name across all your saved items. Scroll down to browse by recency (most recently saved appear first).
