Yesterday, I was charting the information of food eaten, saved the information, then today, I go in to begin charting, and I get yesterday's food info, with today's date. Anyway to change the date for yesterday, so I can chart today's intake?

    As far as I know, you'll need to copy the meals to yesterday, then delete the foods from today, before entering today's real foods.

    You do these things on your diary page, in either the MFP web browser version, or a phone app.

    To copy meals: On the web app, click "quick tools" at the bottom of a meal. Click "copy to date". Follow the instructions from there. On the Android phone app (I assume iOS is similar), with the diary in portrait mode (long dimension of phone running up and down), click on the 3 dots at the lower right of a meal. Click "copy meal", and follow the instructions.

    To delete the foods: In the web app, click on the minus sign to the right of the food. I think you'll have to do this one at a time. On the Android phone app, long-press on the food line, then "delete entry". (iOS may have a swipe option instead, I dunno).

    It really won't make that much difference if you just put today's foods on yesterday, and call it good. ;)

    OMGosh! This is exactly what happened to me today too!! I just got back to using the ap yesterday after prob a year of no use and was so excited and the. Open it today to add meals to diary and yesterday’s food is on today! I came here to find out how to just change the date to the diary but I can’t. Copying was a thought but I thought I’ll just enter today on yesterday and hopefully tomorrow will be a blank fresh diary! What the heck happened here?!

    It wasn't after midnight when you entered yesterday, was it? ;)
