Meals, Amounts, Units

When you first add a food, a common amount (1 each, 1 slice, 1 cup, 1 medium, etc.) is assumed. You can change this by entering a different amount and selecting an available unit from the Unit menu.

If you wish to add a food to a particular meal, select that meal from the Meal menu. If not, select the blank. The program meal will initially default to breakfast; after that it will default to the last meal assigned.

Delete

To delete a food, check the Delete box and click Save.
