Dissappearing meal categories

Jadedraggin

I can't find where to post this to get tech help. I've been using this for years and suddenly I only have Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. My additional Morning snack, Afternoon snack, and Evening snack have disappeared. I can reestablish ... but what changed to delete them? System glitch?

There are frequent glitches on the site that usually resolve within hours or a couple days.

If you're using a mobile app, try logging in on a web browser and see if the problem persists...

If it doesn't resolve, then go to "Help" here: https://support.myfitnesspal.com/hc/en-us

Thanks, I reset my meal names and they won't stay.

The issues are widespread, they're working on a fix.

Ditto above problem.

Mine too - Ill fix it in the app and log... then get online and it's gone. As long as I name it the same everything comes back.
They're inconvenient but Ill just wait on the fix.

I've had the same thing happen on the web & app. I wasn't sure if it was a bug or something they were going to want to make me pay for. Just a new bug to go along with others recently.

if it was a planned change, it would have been nice if all the morning, afternoon and evening snacks were all moved to the snacks category instead of disappearing

I'm having the same issue and I submitted a bug report. It's not local to the app but to the website as well.

Me too. I've noticed that the desktop version keeps my meal names the way I want so until they fix it I'll ditch the phone and use my laptop.
