Searching for Food on The Daily Plate

Video Transcript

"DREW NOAH: So now I'm going to show you how to search for foods. So the search bar, real big and up here, and this is if it's a new food, not something in your "what I eat often." So you can search any food, restaurant or even activity for exercise. But let me show you. You can search just a type of food like tortilla chips and then you can see everything that comes up. You can see its tortilla chips and then a parenthesis, the brand. And then you have the option to filter the results by brand, actually. If you know the particular brand you're looking for, you can go find it straight in there or you can actually type in the brand and it'll come up just like that. See, the SunChips is the brand; I've got original, french onion, I could find--harvest cheddar. Those are all in here, too. So you can search the actual food, the brand or even a restaurant. Whoops, search that. Thundercloud Subs is a sub shop, a local sub shop that I like. And there it is. There is, I just searched for the restaurant, and I was able to find a sub sandwich from them. So this is what the search page looks like. You've got the nutrition at a glance over here, 601 calories. Actually, it probably be better to start over here. You've got your nutrition facts on the right hand side. And you can see calories and just all the information right there. This one actually has a picture. It's been tagged, a fish. They've got an "I ate this" button, which I'll talk about more in the next clip. And then there's healthy alternatives right here with fewer whatever you want to pick. See, I picked healthy alternatives with fewer fat. And this is a really cool option because it's exactly what it sounds like, healthy alternatives from the restaurant that have fewer fat. And you'll see this for other things as well. Like, if I was looking at some, some chips, maybe the healthy alternative might be baked chips or something like that. Below that, you've got related items; there aren't any in here right now, and then user reviews. You've even got a calorie break down below your nutrition facts with protein, carbs and fat all broken down or, like where the calories are coming from. Then on the left hand side is where you see the nutrition at a glance. And you've got just a list of calories, a couple of the healthy alternatives. This is basically going through what's all over here at a glance, just like it says. Add it to your plate--that button does as well and then--and an option to write a review and to browse more foods from this restaurant and they even have a link to the website. So this is what its kinda looks like when you search for foods and it's just a really useful page to get some information about the food. In the next clip, I'll show you how to add these foods to your calorie calendar."
