How do you save your favorite foods?

Hello, I am new to the site and I cannot figure out how to save my favorite foods. When I am adding to my daily diary, I do see some recent or frequent foods but sometimes not all the foods I need to choose from are showing up. Is there a way to save your favorite foods so that you can reference all of them? Thank you.

    They should all be there, sometimes there are pages you have to click through depending on how often you use them (when viewing frequent or recent foods). You can also use the Quick Tool function and save the meal as a meal that will always be there.

    You can make them a meal using quick tool drop down after you have put them in. I do several that have 2 or 3 items so I can bring them in and then delete what I don't need. Easier than always looking for the ones I want.

    Can someone please explain how to access the quick tool function? I would like to make my favorite foods a meal for easier searching. Thanks!

    Are you using web MFP or the phone/tablet app?

    In web MFP, log your meal in your diary as usual, then click "Quick Tools" underneath the meal in your diary. From the menu that appears, click "Remember Meal". It should be reasonably clear from there, but if you have questions, reply here.

    On the phone/tablet app, log your meal in your diary as usual, then click on the 3 dots under the meal at the right. On the resulting list, click "Save Meal". Again, I think it'll be clear from there, but if it's not, reply here and ask whatever's confusing.

    Best wishes!
