In Android, to remove a food from the diary, you press and hold on it to get a menu with a "Delete Entry" item. I don't see any way to remove an item from a meal. Neither holding nor swiping work. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Well that's needlessly rude. The chimpanzees on our dev team would be very offended by this.

    To edit a meal, first add it to your diary. Then, in that diary entry, make any changes to the meal that you'd like - for example, changing a portion size, and deleting or adding food items. Finally, follow the steps for remembering a meal, but select the "Replace an Existing Meal" option. Choose the meal name you wish to overwrite, and that meal will be replaced with the meal you just edited.

    I can’t find any way to delete a food in a meal other than to go to a blank meal in your diary and add it. Then delete the food and save it back to the meal with the exact name. Then delete the meal from your diary.
