Logged food history not shared across all meals?

When I log a food to breakfast it will show up in my history when looking it up again. Definitely helps locating food faster when searching for the same item in the future. But that food will not be in my history for lunch, dinner, or snack. I assume this is either by design or I am doing something wrong. Is the only way around this to log all food in one meal category? I guess I do not really care at the moment how much is logged in each category just concerned about the totals at the end of the day.

    There's a setting for that. I have screen grabs below, but mine is already set to the settings I think you want, so your starting value will have a different text in the location I circled. You'll easily figure that part out.

    In web browser MFP, it's here, but you'll have to click on the place where mine says "All Meals" but yours will have a meal name, then you'll see the drop-down where you can switch the setting to "All Meals":

    In the phone/app, you click the button in the first screen grab (which in your case will have a meal name), then use the settings in the pop-up that shows in the second screen grab to change the setting to "All Meals":
