Default Bulk Entry Feature

There's a new feature called "Bulk Entry". This will allow you to create a whole day's worth (or a meal's worth) of entries, all pre-configured with the amounts and servings.

Give it a try from the "Create Bulk Entry" in the left side menu, and let me know what you think.

I like this. I set up my coffee using it and it works nicely. I use a mix of 2 coffees and then milk or cream or half n half. What I really like is that after you've added the bulk "meal" to the daily foods, you can still change something. So I can change the creamer I use.

Another good place to use this is for salads. I don't always have the same thing in my salad, so I can set it up to enter all of the possibilities and then just delete the ones I didn't use. Nice idea!

Make sure to try the multiple meal block mode, this will let you enter a full day of meals with one click

Yeah, I can see how it would, but I rarely eat the same thing each day. But just having the bulk entry for breakfast (6 different items right there!) just saved me a butt load of time.

This is a neat feature. I entered a basic salad and now I can click it and adjust it as necessary. What a time saver! It's also great that I can edit it even after it has been entered so I can add things I forgot.

Sorry to be dense (again... ) but I don't understand what that means.
I've only entered "salad" so far, and I made it for "multiple meals" but I can only see how to enter it for one meal at a time. ?

Otherwise, I think it's a brilliant idea, and I love it.

Now I'm wondering if there is a bug. Before I added it to breakfast as a trial, but now I tried to enter it (my bulk entry salad) to my Dinner, for real, and it just goes straight to Breakfast. I had selected "dinner" from the dropdown menu.
Everything else I enter for dinner goes to dinner except my salad.

Rosebud, did you ever figure out how to use it for multiple meals. I am having the same problem.

Here's the difference between single and multiple meal options:

1. Single meals: Bulk entries for single meals are entended to make it easier to enter you lunch, brakfast or dinner in a single click. Like if you usually have 5 items for dinner, it's easier to create a single entry for that and call it "my typical dinner".

This entry can be used for dinner, brekfast, or any other meal. But it all goes together in one meal, and you decide which meal it is when you enter it into a day.

2. Multiple Meals: Those are entended to enter a whole day's worth of entries. And the meals chosen for this bulk, are "fixed". Once you decide what is breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, etc, and you specify all the measures and a mounts and what goes where, then you save it. Once you're done, this day (multiple-meals) are entered AS IS, to the day you choose it for. Breakfast goes to breakfast, dinner goes to dinner etc..
