Saved meals

Most people eat the same 10–20 meals on rotation. Logging each individual food every time is tedious. Saved meals let you bundle a combo and re-log it in one action.

When to use

Good candidates for saving:

• Your standard breakfast — "oatmeal + banana + protein powder + almond milk."
• A specific recipe you cook — "Tuesday chili," "Sunday meal-prep bowl."
• A restaurant order you repeat — "Chipotle bowl" with the exact toppings.
• A weekly Sunday meal-prep batch — log Monday through Friday in five taps.

How to create

You can create a saved meal two ways:

From scratch

1. Log page → Meals tab → + New meal.
2. Pick a name.
3. Add an emoji (optional).
4. Tap + Add food and search/scan/select foods to include.
5. Set serving counts per item.
6. Save.

From a logged meal

1. Open a day where you logged the combo.
2. Long-press (or use the menu) on one of the entries.
3. Save group as meal.
4. Multi-select the items to include.
5. Pick a name.
6. Save.

How to log a saved meal

Three places:

1. Quick Log → Food → pick the meal type → search results include matching saved meals near the top.
2. Food search page → Meals tab → tap any saved meal → adjust serving count if needed → add.
3. AI assistant: "Log my standard breakfast at 7am" — if your saved meal is named "standard breakfast," the AI finds and logs it.

When you log a saved meal, every food item in it is added as a separate food log entry. You can then edit or delete individual items if today's combo is slightly different.

Editing a saved meal

Log page → Meals tab → tap the meal.

You can:

• Add or remove items.
• Change serving counts on individual items.
• Rename or change the emoji.

Edits don't affect previously-logged days. Each day's food log is a snapshot of what you ate that day.

Deleting a saved meal

Tap the meal → Delete.

Deletion only removes the saved-meal template. Your past food log entries that came from it are unaffected.

Tips

Build five before you build twenty. Most users use 5–8 saved meals heavily and forget the rest. Start with the meals you actually eat 3+ times a week.

Edit serving counts at log time, not in the saved meal. If your "Tuesday chili" sometimes is 1 serving and sometimes 1.5, save it at 1 serving and bump at log time.

Use saved meals for restaurants too. A Chipotle bowl with "double chicken, no rice, extra guac" is worth saving even if you go once a month — recreating it takes 90 seconds the first time and 5 seconds thereafter.

Saved meals are not recipes. No prep instructions, no ingredient quantities for cooking. They're nutrient bundles. If you want recipe management, the saved meal can be the macro side of it; track the recipe itself elsewhere.

Common questions

"Why do my macros differ slightly when I log a saved meal vs the original day?" Each item in the saved meal references its own food item, with the macros that food had at the time you saved it. If the underlying food item's macros change later (you edited it), the saved meal still uses the historical values. To resync, edit the meal and re-add the item.

"Can the AI create saved meals?" Yes — "Save my last Tuesday's breakfast as a meal" works. The AI handles the multi-step flow.

"Is there a way to share saved meals with someone else?" Not directly. The data export is the way — you can manually re-create a meal in another account if needed.

Privacy

Saved meal data is included in your export and removed on deletion.
