Carb goals per meal

in Feature Suggestions and Ideas
As far as I can tell, there's no way to set and track carb goals per meal (though please let me know how to do it if I'm wrong about that).

I have to start controlling and tracking my carbs per meal due to gestational diabetes and it would be very helpful to have this feature.

Or, if someone knows of a different app that does a good job on this, please let me know. I'd rather do this with an app instead of trying to track everything manually.

Thanks!

    I don't think you can set a goal per meal, but you can monitor your intake per meal.

    Via the food diary on the website:

    Or on the Android app also in the food diary, if you turn the screen in landscape mode:

    No you can't set it per meal but as Lietchi has said you can see the breakdown per meal eaten, but you can set the daily total which is what I have done as I have recently been diagnosed as pre-diabetic so also watching my carbs/sugars/saturated fats/salts, although I have to convert the salts as it's listed as sodium on here which in itself is a pain.

    You may be able to do that in Premium MFP. I know you can set calorie goals by meal there, but I don't have premium now, so I can't check that for you (apologies!).

    I checked and it is just a calorie goal per meal, no macro goals per meal.

    In premium there is also an option to see macros (grams and percentage split) per meal:
