Simplify Tracking with Favorites: Save, Create, and Manage Items - Android

**If you would find it time consuming to search for the food items you consume the most, or perhaps you are unable to locate the exact item you are looking for, then the Favorites section will make that easier for you!**

Favorites is a section in the app where you can either:

1. **Create* and **edit* your own food items, recipes, meals or exercises. You can also track them from this section. You are able to create anything you cannot find in the food or exercise database.
2. **Find** your favorite food items and recipes that you have previously saved from the Lifesum database and track them from there.

In order to use the option Favorites, please go to the **Progress tab* and then click on **Favorites*.
