Copy food between days

It would be nice to mark and copy several entries to another day. There is a function where I can move entries between meals, but it would make it much easier for repetitive items to be able to copy them - for example, from yesterday's lunch to today's dinner)

    You can copy meals to another already, but it has to be the same meal and only to a 5 day period (the day before yesterday up to the day after tomorrow).
    Use the three dots next to a meal to see the copy option.

    On iOS, IF you can find the meal, you can click the three dots to copy the meal.


    That’s why when I freeze leftovers, I always date the package and mark it “1/6 of recipe” or whatever portion it is. (I always save equal portions.)

    Then all I have to do is roll MFP back to the date on the package and use the three dots to copy that meal to the current date.

    OR if I saved the recipe as a meal, I simply pull it from where I saved it on the meals or recipe tab, change quantity to 1/12 aka .083 (since my husband gets half the frozen meal and I get the other half) and log that.

    That way I’m doubly covered to retrieve leftover data

    Yeah, there might be a little bit of freezer backlog happening around here, but six month old lasagna tastes just as good as fresh to me!
