Food missing off saved meals

How do I fix missing food from saved meals? Can I delete the app completely and reinstall it or will I lose my data and history?

I'm not sure I understand the question, because what you're suggesting trying seems kind of extreme for how I think I understand the problem, so I may be reading it wrong.

Are you saying that you saved a group of foods as a meal in MFP, then realized you left out one or more foods you wanted to include in that meal? If that's it, you can log the meal in your diary, add the food, and re-save the meal under the same name.

In the phone/tablet app version of MFP, you can also edit the meal in the Meals tab of the Recipes, Meals and Foods option in the More menu. Click the Meals tab, click the meal you want to change, click the 3-dots in the upper right, click edit, then click the plus sign to search/select what you want to add.

If that's what you want to accomplish, but the above isn't enough info, post back and say so. I can provide screen grabs of the process if needed.

If you've already logged that meal in your diary, fixing the meal with the added food won't change those previous diary entries. If that's important to you, you could go back to those days and add the new ingredient(s) on each day.

If I've misunderstood what the problem is, and are willing to clarify, I'd be happy to take another stab at suggesting how to fix it.

If you're using the phone/tablet app, you definitely don't need to de-install and re-install. Doing that won't solve the problem, if I'm even close to understanding what the problem is. However, if you did uninstall/reinstall, I'm pretty sure doing that wouldn't delete all your data and history, as long as you sign back in to the reinstalled app with your current ID and password. It might be a good idea to click Sync in the More menu before uninstalling, and make sure you see it say it last synced a few seconds ago before the uninstall.

I’ve had a couple meals and recipes now where there are missing ingredients after it’s been saved and I tried to log it. The only solution I’ve found is to delete the meal or recipe and re-enter it. It’s super frustrating!
