I’ve seen the new feature to create meal goals now. How many calories roughly should each meal be? I’m aiming for weight loss with walking as my main form of exercise

You have to decide that yourself. That number would first of all depend on how many calories you're eating per day, and number of meals
For most people, eating according to appetite, work, family, social and exercise schedule works best.

Whatever suits you. It's your average intake over days/weeks/months that dictates losses, not how many calories your lunch is vs dinner.2

It's up to you. Some people prefer bigger breakfasts, some people like no breakfast but a huge dinner. Some people just snack all day. Personally, this is what I shoot for. I fall short most days due to missing meals for work.
Breakfast- 500 cals
Snack- 300 cals
Lunch - 500 cals
Snack- 200 cals
Dinner- 500 cals
Snack - 300 cals0 -
