Navigate to the Cholesterol Tests tab and tap the "+" button. Enter your Total Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and Triglycerides values along with the test date. The app will automatically track trends and provide analysis.

Make sure you've granted Camera permission to the app. Go to iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera and ensure Cholesterol Heart Tracker is enabled. If the barcode isn't found, try using the manual search instead.

Try being more specific with your descriptions. Instead of "pasta", say "spaghetti with marinara sauce". You can also manually edit or adjust quantities after the AI processes your entry. Voice entry works best with iOS 18.1+ and Apple Intelligence enabled.

Check these common issues:

• Make sure both "Read" and "Write" permissions are enabled for the data types you want to sync
• Try toggling the permissions off and back on
• Restart the app after changing permissions
