Build your User Food Library

Copy, create, edit, organize, and safely delete personal foods in BeFit Tracker Classic.

The User Food Library is the editable, offline area for foods you want to maintain yourself. It stays separate from the bundled catalog.

The Classic User Food Library selected in the sidebar with several personal foods — Catalog copies, manually created foods, and compatible imports live together in the local User Food Library.

Copy a catalog food

Find the food in the main Food Library.
Drag its row to User Food Library in the sidebar.
Classic creates a personal copy without changing the source catalog record.
Reuse that personal food in other folders as needed.

Create a food manually

Select User Food Library.
Choose Add Food, then select Create Custom Food.
Enter the food name and the nutrition values available from your source.
Review the entry and save it to the User Food Library.

The Add Food dialog in BeFit Tracker Classic with Create Custom Food and Search Open Food Facts choices — Add Food appears only in the User Food Library. Choose Create Custom Food for information you will enter yourself, or Open Food Facts for a provider-backed search.

The editor begins with the food name, serving description, serving weight, and core nutrition. Continue through the remaining fields in the sidebar, then choose Done Editing.

A new custom food open in the Classic editor with serving and nutrition fields — Enter only values supported by your label or source; leave unavailable information unclaimed.

Edit or delete a personal food

Select the food in the User Food Library and use the document-and-pencil control to edit it. Update the name, serving information, or nutrients using a source you trust, then finish editing to keep the changes in the local library.

To remove a personal food, select it and choose the delete control. Stop at the confirmation and verify the food name before continuing. Deletion cannot be undone, and Classic also removes dependent entries that use that personal food in other lists so disconnected records are not left behind.

BeFit Tracker Classic asking for confirmation before permanently deleting a personal food — Cancel if the selected food is not the one you intended to remove. Delete is permanent and can also affect lists that use this personal food.

You are responsible for personal values.

Manual entries are not automatically USDA-verified. Check the label or source you used, and keep a backup of your Classic database before substantial editing or troubleshooting.

Personal foods remain local to Classic. They are not uploaded to the source provider, synchronized through iCloud, or migrated to the newer BeFit Tracker.
