Unfortunately, the Frequent and Recent lists are a bit constricted right now. They were originally created to automatically add to and delete based on frequency of use. However, since the lists can hold several items, this may take time before items start to automatically drop on or off the lists based on use.

Another option is you could start using the "meals" area as your main list of reference. The "meals" area is somewhat like a favorite lists. You can add just one item or several items as a meal. You can also name that item or list of items however you like, and you can delete from that area as often as you would like. The meals list is the one area you have the most control.

For example, you can create a Meal called "Two eggs and cereal" consisting of two eggs a bowl of cereal, and milk. You can then add this as a group, instantly, instead of adding each item separately. You can also save a single item as a meal, such as "My Favorite Milk."

Instructions for creating a meal can be found in this article: https://myfitnesspal.zendesk.com/hc/articles/360032272432-How-do-I-create-and-log-remembered-meals

When you are logging food in the future, you'll find your remembered meals in the "Meals" tab of the food search screen.
