Meal Logging: A step-by-step guide

How to Log and Organise Meals in the FoodMarble App


Logging your meals helps you track how your digestion responds to different foods.


Do you often log the very same meal? Now you can save your favourite meals to speed you up when logging the same meal another day.


This article takes you through the steps to log a food and shows you how to save a meal.


Logging Basics


1. Open Logging Options


Open the FoodMarble app


From your home screen, tap the + icon to open logging options.


Select Meal from the list.



2. Search for a Food


Type the name of the food into the search bar (e.g., Bread).



3. Select Your Food


Tap on the food item you want to log and a tick icon will appear when it's selected.




4. Adjust the Quantity


Tap Edit to change the portion size. Use the dial to select the right amount, then tap Save.




5. Confirm the Portion


The updated portion size will appear next to the food item.



6. Set the Time


If needed, adjust the time you ate by tapping the time and selecting the correct one. Tap Done to confirm.

Organising your Meals


Saving a Meal to “My Meals”

Tap the bookmark icon and choose the correct category (e.g., Lunch) from the dropdown menu to save it.




Accessing the “My Meals” Section

Tap Meal from the list of logging options.


Step 3 – View your saved meals


In the Meals & Drinks screen, tap the My Meals tab.


Step 4 – Browse by category


Your saved meals will appear under their assigned categories (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks, Other). Long press on a meal to see organisation options.





Editing or Removing a Saved Meal


Step 1 – Edit a meal


Tap on the meal you want to edit. You can change its category, edit its name/contents (pencil icon), or delete it.
