Now it's time to make a meal.
First enter a name and say how many servings it makes, then choose "Add Item To Meal" and you will be presented with the usual "Add Food" screen but in meal maker mode.
Just choose items as usual but instead of them being added to your diary they are added to your meal.
Finally choose save meal in the top right and your meal is made.
