Feature Suggestion: Auto-select Ingredients from Logged Meals for Easy Copying or Saving as Recipe

I often prepare meals that I eat over multiple days. When logging a meal (for example, lunch), I scan barcodes and weigh all the ingredients, which then get saved in my food diary for that specific day and meal.

However, if I want to eat the exact same meal the next day or save it as a reusable recipe after I’ve already eaten and logged it, I currently need to re-enter or re-scan everything manually. There’s no way to select the ingredients from a completed meal and reuse them in another context.

This often happens when I’ve made a meal that turns out really tasty and I want to repeat it, or when I’ve made too much and plan to eat the same thing again the next day. For example, I might want to save it as a recipe and log it with a portion size of 0.5. But since the meal is already logged, I’d like to be able to reuse it directly from the diary entry.

Suggested Feature
Add an option to automatically select all ingredients from a logged meal so users can:

• Copy the meal (with all its ingredients) to another date or meal
• Save the meal directly as a recipe for future use

Why This Would Be Useful
This would save time and reduce friction for users who meal prep or regularly repeat meals. Many people but especially those who cook in bulk or follow meal plans would benefit from quickly reusing meals without having to re-scan or re-enter every ingredient manually.

Optional Enhancements

• Add a “Save as Recipe” button within the logged meal view
• Add a “Copy to Tomorrow” or “Copy to Another Date” option, accessible after logging the meal

This feature would significantly improve usability and efficiency for users with consistent eating habits or those looking to simplify their tracking process.
