It would be nice if there was a meals tab in the app instead of having to individually input each food item. Being able to save entire meals would cut down on the frustration of hunting and pecking for each food item.

You can create meals in the web interface "Food Log" tab. Clock on "Meals" in the Favorites section and then click on "Create a Meal"

They will then show up in your iOS app's log foods custom foods page after your custom foods:

When I select "Chipotle Bowl" I get the following in the foods page in the app:

One tap enters four separate foods.

 

Good luck and welcome to the boards.

The above reply makes sense. However, when I search on the custom tab why am I not seeing my meal entries, that I favorited in the dashboard, in the iOS app’s results?  I have to scroll all the way down through the custom foods and eyeball it to find them.

 

As someone who cooks at home a lot, I’ve got a lot of custom meals I would add for better tracking. This limitation is making it unusably time-consuming. It’s bad enough to have to go to a browser to add the meal in the first place. I’ll end up spending more time tracking the calories than I do actually preparing them.
