# Food Logger Shortcut | Shortcuts Library

> Log Foods Directly to Your Apple Health

## What this shortcut does

Introducing a faster way to log foods directly into your Apple Health! This shortcut removes the need for the middle man while keeping the same level of functionality as a standard food logging app.
You can now log foods directly into your Apple Health through different methods. It leverages the MyFitnessPal food database for getting food nutrients and logs them directly to your Apple Health.
NOTE: Unfortunately, MFP took down their open database making it unable to be used for Search. Other shortcut functionality still works including Scanning and saving barcodes, making food presets etc
This and much more:
- Save foods as presets
- Scan and save barcodes into your own personal database
- Food History: See what foods you ate in the past
- Statistics: Generate charts and graphs with Charty to get insight on your nutrient consumption.
See more in Full Tutorial.
Note:
This shortcut is made up of several sub-shortcuts all working together to provide a fast and modular experience which helps in ease of use as well as ease of development. I apologize in advance for the shear amount of shortcuts required to make it function completely.
The shortcut linked below is an Installer Shortcut that will lead you through the process of installing the required sub-shortcuts.
