"Custom Meals" Option
First of all, I LOVE THIS SITE!!!
I was wondering if there could be an option added to create "meals". For instance, being a simpleton, I have 4 breakfasts that I eat. I just wake up and pick one because it is easy. I would love to create a "meal" called "Breakfast - Omelette with Fruit" and then be able to add this to my food log. Within my meal, I would have 3 egg whites, 1/2 cup tomato, 1/2 cup spinach, 1 large banana. By adding the meal to my food log, it adds the entire meal vs. having to enter each ingredient individually.
I have overcome this in the past by going to an older day that I did not enter any food, adding each individual ingredient, and creating a custom "food" called "Breakfast - Omelette with Fruit" then manually copying over all of the nutrition information. This works for now but is a pain as it is time consuming and my custom foods list gets longer and longer and more confusing.
Thanks for all your hard work!

Are you making each ingredient a custom food?
Or are you making 1 custom food with all the nutrition values combined and naming it "breakfast"?
You would only have to enter the combined info for each of your 4 "breakfast" once under Create A Custom Food.
