I changed the categories in my diary settings just now and now some of the foods I ate yesterday and on previous days are gone from my diary!??? I could understand if they may have gotten put in the wrong category ( breakfast, lunch, dinner, etC,...) but they are gone?.. Did it delete them? Now my past diary history is not going to be accurate!! Is there a way to fix this?

    Try posting this under the tech support thread. Usually when you add/change categories it won't delete past foods, but put them under a different category.

    Meals/categories are just numbered items, and the names you give them are just labels.
    If you reduce the number of meal labels you use, the old meals are effectively lost.
    You could probably add them back in again as 'meal x' or something.

    Very poor handling of meal categories, IMHO. Just one of many reasons why you can't easily use MFP to record trends over time.
