Copy food log from one day to another

Hi there, I would like to have the option to bring/take one day food plan and copy it into one different day(s). Loging food one by one those days I wanted to repeat my plan is time consuming and I would like to avoid it. of course keep the option to add food if by any chance I decide to cheat, just like now. Thanks Smiley Very Happy

I would like to be able to go back a day or more and copy a meal or item that I previously ate to today's log. Eg if on Monday I made a smoothie or an omelet from 5 ingredients for breakfast and I make that same meal again today on Thurs this would let me select the the breakfast from Monday and copy the 5 ingredients to today in one action.

We should be able to select a meal logged on a previous day and save it as a "favorite meal" to our recipes, preferably in the app but at least on the web dashboard. That way, if I make a big pot of soup and scan the ingredients as I go and figure out the portions (because you don't help) I can track the same meal later when I eat the leftovers.

It would be helpful and less time consuming to be able to copy entire meals from a previous day into the current one or from an earlier time in the same day, and then from there be able to be edited in the usual way.

It would really be nice to have the ability to copy meals from prior entries. I realize that I can create favorite meals, and I have done that on my most frequent meals. However, this is a lot of trouble for meals that I repeat on a short term basis, or for meals that I do not anticipate repeating.

I would like Inspire 2 to have an update that would allow me to copy meals/drinks from previous days, since I eat a lot of the same foods. It is very time consuming to input each and every item each day. Thanks

Can you group foods together as a meal or can you add a feature where I can copy a meal from one day to the next? It is a lot of work to manually enter each component of each meal each day (when meal prepping, its easy to eat the same thing for 3-4 days).

Having the option to copy a previous days meals would help those that are athletes on a specific meal plan.

Why can’t the software be enhanced to allow the copying of meals from one day to the next or from one meal to the next? Having to put individual items in each meal is tedious and frustrating. With all of the updates to the software that should’ve been one of them.
