'''My Meals''' are reusable meal templates, a saved group of foods you eat often that you can log again in one tap instead of searching for each item. You open My Meals from the '''bookmark''' button in the [[The Food log screen|Food log]] toolbar and from the '''All →''' link on the food log's My Meals strip. It ties back to [[Using the iOS app]].
''General wellness tracking, not medical advice.''
== The list == Each saved meal is a card showing its name, a one-line summary of what's in it (item count, total calories, and protein/carbs/fat grams), and its default meal type (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, or pre-/post-workout). On the right is a round '''bolt''' button.
== Logging a saved meal == Tap the '''bolt''' button to log the whole meal at once. Every item in it is added to today's log under the meal's default meal type, and you get a "Logged · N items" confirmation. If any item is on your never-eat list, a '''Never-Eat Warning''' appears. You can also log a saved meal without opening this screen: the [[The Food log screen|Food log]] shows your saved meals as tappable chips, where a tap logs the meal into whichever meal type is currently selected there. See [[Logging food]].
== Editing a meal == Tap a meal's card (or choose '''Edit''' from its long-press menu) to open the editor. Long-pressing a card also offers '''Delete''', which asks you to confirm before removing the meal.
== Building or editing in the editor == The '''+''' button in the top corner creates a new meal; editing opens the same screen prefilled. The editor has:
- A '''Name''' field.
- A '''Default Meal''' picker offering breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack, plus '''pre-workout''' and '''post-workout'''. This is the meal type used when you one-tap log.
- An '''Items''' list. Each item has a name, an optional amount (for example, "2 large"), and fields for '''KCAL''', '''P''', '''C''', '''F''', and '''FIB''' (fiber). Add rows with '''Add item''' and remove one with the '''×''' on its row. Tap '''Save Meal''' (or '''Update Meal''' when editing) to keep it. The meal needs a name and at least one named item, or you'll be prompted to fill those in. See [[Calorie and macro tracking]] and [[Macronutrients explained]] for what those numbers mean.
== Saving a meal from the food log == You don't have to build meals by hand. On the [[The Food log screen|Food log]], each meal card in the day's log has a '''bookmark''' button (and a "Save as My Meal" long-press option) that opens this same editor prefilled with everything you logged for that meal, so tomorrow's identical lunch is one tap away.
== Empty state == Before you save anything, the screen reads "No Saved Meals" over "Save today's lunch from the Food log, or build one here," with a '''Build One''' button that opens the editor.
