Selecting Suggestion Sources for your optimized Meal Suggestions

Filtering and sorting meals in a Suggestion Source

To view a sampling of meals from a Suggestion Source, click on the name of the Source (in orange).

When viewing meals in a Suggestion Source, you can filter your results by:

• Meal (breakfast, a.m. snack, lunch, midday snack, dinner, or p.m. snack)

• Dietary Restriction (such as an allergen or presence of gluten)

• Search Term. Enter terms in the Find meals with field to find meals that contain a particular term or terms in either the meal name or ingredients. If your preference is for meals that do not include a particular food (for example, if you do not like mushrooms), enter that food in the and without field. In both fields, using a comma between search terms will find matches that contain one term OR the other, whereas not separating terms with a comma will find matches that contain BOTH terms (AND search).

Printing meals
