Saving Breakfast and a Snack on the Same Day

People sharing breakfast do not necessarily want the same snack. Separate meal slots let a household record that small difference without changing the headcount for the whole day.

Two people want oats for breakfast, but only one wants a chickpea snack.

Save each slot with its own servings

1. Choose the first day of the week.
2. Save Stovetop Apple Cinnamon Oats for Breakfast with 2 servings.
3. Save Lemon Roasted Chickpeas in the same day’s Snack slot with 1 serving.

Breakfast and snack stay independent

Breakfast retains 2 servings and Snack retains 1 serving in separate slots.

Serving counts belong to the saved meal. A one-person snack does not shrink breakfast, and its ingredient demand can be calculated separately when the week is reviewed.

Review serving counts in each slot before generating groceries.
