Is there a way to save foods I use often?

Hello, newbie here. I just came over from another calorie sight and it had a way for me to save my "favorites" foods I use most often. This allowed me to not have to search for the item every time I used it. Is there a way to do that here? Thanks

    The site automatically generates lists of recently used foods and frequently used foods, plus a list of any foods you create database entries for.

    The recently/frequently used food lists are helpful, but if you have something regularly but not often, you can save it as a "meal" so you can find it every three months (or however long). I have saved actual meals that I'm inclined to repeat, but I've also saved individual foods as meals so I don't have to re-enter the information when they "drop off" my recent/frequent lists.

    Hope this helps! (Let me know if you want more info.) :)
