A way to bulk-add foods for the day?


Quote  |  Reply

Is there a way to add more than one food item at a time to the log? 

 

Also, I eat the same cereal + milk every morning for breakfast -- is there a quick way to add that, instead of looking on past days and adding them that way?


Thanks! :)

Tag each item with the same tag, such as "breakfast".  When you want to log this breakfast, go to your tagged items and click on the arrow next to the tag "breakfast" in the right hand side box where the tags are displayed.  This will add the entire group to your log.

Option 2 would be to create a recipe, except don't save it, but "add one serving to food log" with all/most of your breakfast ingredients in the name of the recipe, "Eggs, toast, coffee," and that is exactly what appears on your log. These behave like custom foods. Put a food tag (even though it started out as a recipe) on it like "breakfast" so you can keep track of multiple breakfast menus.

Example:

I do this because it is clearer on my food log what it is I ate, and I don't know when I might have to turn in food log, so that the reviewer would know.

If you change what you are eating for breakfast, these recipe-custom foods are very easy to delete. Find it under food tag "breakfast," then hit the "x."

Claire's way is perfectly clear on the food log as well. The only difference is I say it in one line.  It's a matter or preference.
