Can I buy alternative food items to those specified on the shopping list

Since you can never be sure that your local supermarket is going to have all the ingredients that are planned into your food diary, you have the option of choosing equivalent ingredient swaps (where necessary). 

To help compare the calories or nutrients in any food or drink use the "Calorie and nutrients checker"

• From the top right of your Food Diary, click 'Calorie and nutrients checker'
• Follow the instructions to find alternative foods with the same or fewer calories

You can also use the "food swap" icon on the right of any food item row in your food diary to find alternatives for that item.
