copying one day to another

SawDr

Is it possible to duplicate one day's food list to another? I have the same salad each day but there are numerous ingredients and it becomes tedious to key in everything.

Hi SawDr,

We have a few different options:

From the diary menu (gear icon) in the top right corner of the diary, select Copy Previous Day - this will pasted everything entered in your diary the previous day into the current day in your diary.

If you would only like to copy a single item (or select multiple items), select the items in your diary (hold the shift key to select multiple items at once) then right-click on the items or use the diary menu and select Copy Selected Items. Navigate to a new day in your diary where you would like to paste them and right-click in the diary or use the diary settings menu to Paste.

You could also create a recipe in the Foods tab for your salad. Then you can quickly enter in the entire recipe all at once, rather than adding each individual ingredient each day. If you make changes to your recipe from day to day, add the recipe to your diary, then right-click and use the Explode Recipe action to show the individual ingredients so you can quickly make changes to serving sizes.
