Hello @ArgjentF I hope you're doing well, it's nice to see you around.

I appreciate your participation in the Forums and for sharing your experience with us. Would it be possible for you to provide us more details about this situation? Could you please walk us through the steps you take in order to log food for previous days? This will be very helpful for us to check this further. 

Thanks for your patience and understanding, we'll be waiting to hear from you.

@KTO1 and @ArgjentF -

 

In the Phone app you will indeed only show days with food logged, unlike the web interface. But you can start on any day in the phone app and book food for another day up to 60 days in the past and 30 days in the future.

 

Let's see if this helps - and pardon me if I start to sound a little simplistic, but I'm going to try and take it step by step.

 

  1. From the phone's Today screen, tap the food tile.
  2. From the food log page on the phone tap the "+" at the top right.
  3. Select a food to add.
  4. Select a serving size for the food.
  5. Select the meal time for this entry
  6. Tap the "Today" that is on the same "line" as the word "Date" under the meal selector section.
  7. You will be presented with a "wheel" of dates to select fromIMG_0311.png

     

  8. Swipe down one entry until the word "Yesterday" is bold like the word "Today" is bold in the image in point 7, above.
  9. The word "Today" across from the word "Date" should change to "Yesterday".
  10. Press on the newly changed word "Yesterday" to make the date selector wheel collapse and disappear (optional, but cleans the screen up).
  11. Verify the date still says "Yesterday" (just in case you inadvertently pressed another date on the way to collapse the date wheel).
  12. Log the food.
  13. You will be taken back to the current day in the food page which, of course, shows recaps for previous days. You should now have a recap for yesterday.
  14. Scroll down and select yesterday's food log tile.
  15. Your just added food should be there.
  16. Once you are on "yesterday's" food tile, any food you add will default to "yesterday", allowing you too catch up a whole day quickly without having to go through the "date wheel" each time.

I hope this helps and welcome to the boards.
