Hi..
new member here..
College student, so I do a lot of eating on the go (Blimpie, etc..)
When i try to look up the foods that I eat under the fast food search, only a few fast food items come up. For example, I ate a club from Blimpie today. I tried searching for that on the search, but it's not listed. Am I doing something wrong, or are there just not that many fast food items actually listed on the nutrition part?
Thanks!

It may not be listed. There are so many fast food places it would be hard to list them all. Here is what you can do. When you go to Blimpie get the nutritional info from them. All resturaunts are supposed to have the nutritional breakdown of their foods. Many have the information on their websites. Then enter the data in the 'custom foods' section of the nutritional tracker. It may take awhile but eventually you will have a listing of all your favorite fast foods to go by. That way you will always have it handy. Also, after seeing the nutritional info on alot of these foods, your list will probably get shorter. Hope this helps.

I don't know. Try posting it in the diet forum and see if you get a response.
