You create a favorite meal called "Breakfast" with:

Bread rolls (2 units)

Butter (10g)

Coffee with milk (200ml)

The next day, when logging your breakfast:

Select the "Breakfast" favorite meal

The three foods appear at once

If today you only ate 1 roll, just edit the amount

Done – entry made in seconds!

💡 Tip: Create favorite meals for your most frequent combinations – like your weekday lunch, your standard breakfast, or your typical dinner. This cuts daily logging time and prevents forgetting items.
