Cannot find individual ingredients of my logged Meals

jwcm4

Recently updated my Android app. I have a couple meals saved and one of them has a Marinara sauce item that I have logged alot for the past couple of years. I noticed that I can no longer find it when I search for it individually, even though it gets logged everytime I add my meal containing that item. It would be fine if I could just go to my "Recent" and find it but it does not appear there for some reason. Only the Meal shows up in my Recent, instead of the individual ingredients of the meal.

I can find it fine on the Web platform so I guess I just have to use the Web platform sometimes to enter foods I have always logged fine until a past couple updates ago.

My Premium subscription was set to renew in couple weeks but I have canceled it. Until there's no bugs with the primary function of the app, I don't plan on renewing and will likely look for a new food logging app if these core features don't get fixed soon. Seriously, find better developers and QA testers.

You're not alone. I have several recipes stored that I use to log a meal. Recently, when I logged a recipe for a meal, I noticed that one of the main ingredients was missing from the recipe. The only reason I even noticed is that the calories were way too low. It's like someone wiped that particular item from the database. It means that now I have to check that ALL of my saved recipes are still correct and have ALL of the ingredients that they're supposed to have.

Example: I have overnight oats for breakfast several days a week. It contains steel cut oats, yogurt, milk, banana, blueberries, chia seeds, almonds, and protein powder. I first created this recipe a couple of years ago, and when I log a meal, I just click on "my recipes" and choose the recipe. It populates my diary with the total nutrition figures instead of each individual food/figures.

The other day, I noticed that the calories were about 100 less than normal. I went back into my recipes and checked the ingredients, and discovered that the oats were missing from the recipe! I checked few random recipes, and discovered that at least 4 of them had ingredients that were missing from the recipes! I haven't made any changes to the recipes; these foods just disappeared on their own.

I think we need to make sure we're not confusing issues: OP is, I believe, taking about saved meals, which is not the same as saved recipes.

Regarding the OP: are you sure that's a new thing? I've been using saved meals for years now, and it has been a recurring frustration that ingredients added to the diary through saved meals cannot be found in the recent foods, unlike foods looked up and logged individually.

I am constantly fighting individual items that I have logged for a meal disappearing. I’ll re-enter the item it’ll show up for a second and then disappear. This has been going on for as long as I’ve been using the app to be a fundamental flaw with the app that has not been corrected. be very careful about your remaining calories since the value might be much higher than it should be due to items that have been erased. This is a pain in the neck and I don’t understand why the developers of this app I can’t fix this bug.
