Your Food Diary: browse, copy, and edit

Last updated

The Food Diary shows your meals by day, grouped by type, with your daily total versus your goal — and you can copy meals to other days, adjust them, or delete them.

Browsing your days

  1. Open the Food Diary. It defaults to today.
  2. At the top is a week strip: tap a day to jump to it. Days where you logged something have a dot.
  3. Tap the calendar icon to open the month calendar and browse further back or forward; logged days are marked there too.
  4. Future days are tappable just like past days (up to a year ahead), so you can plan meals well in advance.
  5. Read the daily summary at the top: your calories versus your goal, and whether you still have room or are over. Below the calories are four macro bars — protein, carbs, fat, and fiber.
  6. Scroll through the meal-type sections (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks), each with its own calorie subtotal and a photo row per food.

Every date is available — there is no limited free version. You can browse up to a year back and a year ahead.

Copying and duplicating meals

Often eat the same thing? Then you don't have to log it again.

  • Copy to… — tap More actions on a meal type and choose "Copy to…". Pick what you copy — This meal, Entire day, or Entire week — and which date to copy it to. That can be a future day.
  • Quick duplicate — with "Duplicate to tomorrow" or "Duplicate to next week" you copy a meal in one tap.
  • Yesterday — an empty meal type sometimes shows a "Yesterday" row with what you ate then; tap Copy to bring it into today.

Editing, clearing, or deleting a meal

  1. Tap a meal to open the edit screen.
  2. Adjust food items (name, portion, nutrition values), add or remove items, change the meal type (for example, move a snack to lunch), or update notes. Changes save immediately and the daily summary recalculates automatically.
  3. To delete one meal, swipe it left to reveal the delete option and confirm.
  4. To empty a whole meal type for a day, choose "Clear [meal type]" under More actions and confirm.

Good to know

  • The date label shows relative references like "Today" and "Yesterday" for recent days.
  • The calorie goal in the diary is the same goal as on your Dashboard: if you've connected a health app and "Adjust goal for activity" is on, it flexes with the calories you've burned.
  • Each meal shows a photo thumbnail (if a photo was captured during scanning), the food name in your app language, the calories, and the macros.
  • A copied meal is private — it is not shared to any group feed, even if the original was. You decide sharing fresh each time.
  • If you copy to a future day and you have write-back to your health app switched on, the meal is written to your health app only once that day arrives.
  • There is no separate save step — edits are kept right away. Deleting and clearing always ask for confirmation.
  • A missed day is neutral: the diary never penalizes you.

Common questions

I can't find a meal from a past day. Use the week strip or the calendar icon; logged days are marked with a dot.

How do I copy yesterday's breakfast to today? On the meal type, choose More actions → Copy to…, or use the "Yesterday" row when it appears.

Can I copy a whole day or week at once? Yes — in Copy to… pick the scope Entire day or Entire week and the target date.

What does "Clear [meal type]" do? It removes all items of that meal type for that day. You're asked to confirm first; it can't be undone.

My day total looks off. Check that the correct date is selected and that all meals are under the right type; otherwise pull down to refresh.

I can't find the delete option. Swipe the meal left to reveal it.
