Saved meals and repeating a meal

Save a meal once and log it again with a tap.

A saved meal is a meal you logged once and Forma remembered. The next time you eat it, one tap writes the whole line back into that day, so you do not search the same foods again.

When to use it

  • You eat the same breakfast most mornings and want it logged before the day starts.
  • A dinner you cook the same way each week comes back again and again.
  • You usually log the same foods together, and searching them one by one takes too long.

Step by step

Save a meal once

  1. Log the meal the way you normally do (one way is a search; see Log food: search, scan or by hand).
  2. On Fuel, find one of its lines in the day's list of meals, in the card headed Today's meals.
  3. Tap the three dots at the end of that line.
  4. Tap Keep as a meal.

A note at the bottom of the screen confirms the save and shows the name it was saved under. The name comes from the foods on that line: two foods give "one and the other", three or more give the first food and a count.

Log it again

  1. Next time you eat that meal, open Fuel and tap the plus at the top right (Add food).
  2. Tap your meal under Saved meals. It is logged at once into the meal named under Logging to, and a note with an Undo appears at the bottom.

Saved meals are listed with the name, the calories and the protein. The ones you log most often come first, and the sheet shows the six most-logged.

Or repeat the whole meal

Repeating works without saving anything first:

  1. On Fuel, a meal with nothing logged in it shows a Repeat button with the calories of the last time you logged that meal. Tap it, and the whole meal is copied into today, one fresh line for each line you logged then.
  2. In the Add food sheet, a section named after the meal — Repeat lunch, Repeat breakfast — shows the same thing: the most recent day first, and More brings up the other recent days.
