    Try Entering all of the components individually. If it is something you eat all the time you should be able to save it as a meal.

    Yup- that's exactly what you would track.

    Oatmeal
    Banana
    Brown sugar
    Cinnamon
    Chopped nuts
    Raisins

    It's a pain the first time, but next time you can add them quickly because they'll be commonly used foods for you. Sounds yummy!

    You can also add it all in as a recipe and then next time you eat the same thing, pick it from your recipes.

    You could also enter it as a recipe (under tools). Then if you eat that particular configuration often, it will just be there and you can just enter it once rather than the separate components.

    I put things like that in as a recepie. That way when I have it again I don't have to enter each item all over.
