Combining Food Items Into Dishes
You can save one or more food items as a dish, and use that dish later on to expedite data
entry.
From the Meal screen (Figure 9), add a list of food items, then tap New under Dishes.
This shows the Add Dish screen (Figure 15), and allows you to enter the dish name, its
serving size, the amount of servings it contains and whether one (1) serving should
automatically be added when the dish is selected or if you should be prompted for the
number of servings instead.
To use an existing dish, tap on the Dishes entry at the bottom of the Meal screen, select a
dish, return to the Meal screen, and then tap Add to Meal. A single serving of that dish
will be added, unless the option “Always use one serving when adding this dish” was
selected when adding/editing that dish; in that case, you will be prompted for the exact
amount to use.
Figure 15:When you create a dish, you enter its name along the servings it contains. You can later
recall that dish and specify the amount of servings you actually consumed.
To rename a dish or change the servings it contains, select a dish from the dishes list, and
tap the arrow , which will show the Edit Dish screen (similar to the Add Dish screen).
To update the content of a dish with the food items currently listed, select a dish from the
dishes list, and tap Update.
To delete the dish, select the dish in the dishes list, tap the arrow and tap Delete Dish.
Deleting a dish does not remove the food items currently listed.
