Hi does anyone know if we can use this app to list 7 separate meals - like like everything after 3 needs to be listed as one in field snack field ? So I have 4 meals all mixed up in the snack area.

Seems a basic thing but looks like it is not included

Thanks in advance for anyone who has found a workaround

    I think you can have up to 6 meals,you just need to add them in.
    Go to settings, you can change what nutrients to track and meal names.

    Yeah, six is the maximum you can have. What a lot of people will do is label them as time periods (i.e. 12-4 am, 4-8 am, 8-12pm, and so on).

    This. When I track on MFP I break the food tracking area up into time sections because I do IF (so my first meal section is labeled 'before 11am' etc).

    Yeah, this is similar to how I do it: early morning, late morning, midday, afternoon, evening, before bed. I usually only have three meals, but I like the greater number of options.
