Adding food to Bolus Advisor
When you click on a food from the list, a quantity selection dialog appears. Depending on the food type and your settings it will display different measurements (grams, oz, ml, fl oz).
When you add the desired amount, the food will be added to the foods list (second grey field in the food screen and on the Bolus Advisor screen)
Editing food
You can edit food by press and hold over it. You can edit USDA and BEDCA foods too. After editing, the food will be stored as user added food.
