Adding Custom Diary Entries
Sometimes you may want to track something that isn't available in the Kanvie database, such as a rare ingredient, a local product, or an exercise variation that isn't listed. To keep your tracking accurate, Kanvie allows you to create custom diary entries that behave just like regular items in your diary.
When to Use Custom Diary Entries
Create a custom entry when:
- A product isn't found after scanning or searching
- An ingredient doesn't exist in the database
- An exercise or activity isn't listed
- You want full control over the nutrition values or exercise metrics
How to Create a Custom Nutrition Entry
- Open your Diary
- Tap Add Ingredient / Product
- If nothing matches your search, select Create Custom Entry
- Enter available information, such as:
- Name
- Serving size
- Nutrition values (calories, macros, micronutrients)
- Save your entry
Your custom item will now appear in your search results and can be reused anytime.
How to Create a Custom Activity Entry
- Open your Diary or Exercise logging section
- Tap Add Exercise
- Choose Create Custom Exercise
- Fill in the details, such as:
- Exercise name
- Estimated calories burned
- Duration or reps
- Save your entry
Custom exercises can also be reused or edited later.
Editing or Deleting Custom Entries
At any time, you can:
- Open the custom item
- Tap ⋯ (More)
- Choose Edit or Delete
Changes apply to future logs but do not affect past entries.
