Can I add a comment to a meal?

Add a comment to a meal in the meal plan with the comment icon in its header, or from the meal window in the table editor, to leave the patient a note.

Of course. It’s very useful for reminding the patient of something about that meal, for example “Don’t take more than 20 minutes to eat”.

In the day-by-day and flexible editors:

In each meal’s header, next to the time, there’s a speech bubble icon (Comment). Click it and type in Comment for this meal. It’s saved when you click outside the field. When a meal has a comment, the icon is highlighted.

In the table editor:

Hover over the meal and click the pencil in the top right corner (or Add if the meal is empty). The meal window opens: type the comment in the Comment field.

When a meal already has a comment, you’ll see a small comment icon in its cell. Click it to read or edit the comment without opening the window.
