How to add a dish to your meal plan

Last updated on 05 May, 2026

Maybe you don't like what the generator suggested, or you need to track something you ate. Here's how you can do that.

 

On the website: Click on the "+" button at the bottom of the meal in your meal plan you would like to add a food to:

This will open up the food search. You can type a search here, and we'll search our databases of foods to find what you're looking for. If you click the "Filters" button you can filter the categories in which you're searching if it's helpful:

Once you find what you want, you can either drag the food into your meal plan directly and edit the amount there, or you can click the food to bring up its details page, edit the amount if needed, then click the "+Add" button to add it to your meal:

On the app: If you're in the mobile app (iOS or Android), you can either tap the 3-dot menu on a meal and select "+ Add foods to meal", or select the "Search" tab in the bottom bar to search for items to add to your meals.
