Multiple meals and supplements

When recording meals if you’re on a plan where you eat multiple meals a day besides the daily 3, do you post it all under snack?
Second question do you post all of your supplements under snack as well?
Does premium have an option for this?

You can have up to 6 meals and name them whatever you want. This feature is available to all users. You can access it on the web app here under "Meal Names":

Just write the names of however many meals you want (including a "meal" for supplements if you want) and save changes, and they will all appear in your diary.
I don't have the phone app so I don't know how to access it there.8 -
Thank you1

I like the way they chose to handle meals. You aren't stuck with any defaults and you can always do your own thing. This is how I had them last:

This cracks me up.
You have it down to the minute.
I used times for a while but I used 8AM-12PM, 12PM -4PM, etc. You are much more detailed than I am. I didn't ever use most of them so now I'm back to Breakfast, Elevensies, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks and Drinks, and After Dinner Stuff.2 -
I have Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon Snack, Dinner, Bedtime Snack, and Misc.
I put my fish oil supplement and blackstrap molasses in Misc. I don't track my other supplements. I'm anemic and look at iron values for entries, but since they are wrong so often for user-entered entries, and when I edit them they don't show up in My Foods, I just count on what I eat routinely. I'm up to a 20 for ferritin, so I'm doing something right.1 -

Some of them were not used often, but it's was nice to see where the bulk of my calories tends to be at a glance, or when I tend to be snacky. It would bother me to eat at exactly 12:00 and not know where to put it lol.0 -
I take my vitamins and other supplements with my breakfast, so I just log them with my breakfast.1
