Automatically Determine Meal to Log to Based Off Time of Day

I would love it if the app would automatically determine which meal to use based off the time of day. Maybe you could set the hours that pertain to a specified meal. For example, if I log something at 2pm, often the default meal is breakfast but I’m not logging to breakfast. I usually forget to change the meal (especially if using a widget to open MFP) and 95% of the time all my stuff gets logged to breakfast no matter the time of day. Then eventually I have to go change them one by one.

It would be awesome if I could say that anything logged between—say—6am and 9:30am is breakfast. Then anything between 9:30 and 11:00am is morning snack. And so on. At those times the associated meal would be the default—with the option to change it of course.

    How is this not a thing? Why is it defaulting to breakfast at 10pm? 🤦🏻‍♂️

    It would need to be optional - people don't necessarily log food at the moment they eat it: sometimes they log beforehand, sometimes afterwards.

    I'm also not sure how you are logging food if it's always set to breakfast? I go to my diary and select 'add food' in the appropriate meal, that way the food is always logged where I want?
