Creating a Custom meal is a great way to easily log items you frequently eat together.
If your breakfast often consists of a custom granola recipe, a cup of coffee with cream and a navel orange, you can group these items together into a custom meal to easily add them to your diary. Once created, you can search and add the meal to your diary via the add food button.
You can create meals in two ways:
1. From the create meal button in the Foods tab
2. By selecting the ingredients in your diary that you want to combine into a meal
