The meal plan feature on the website stopped letting me substitute meals.  I try and substitue but it doesn't show up on the list.  This happened after the alli site went down earlier today.

The substitutions are currently working. Are you still having trouble substituting items?

I am having the same problem...I have tried deleting items from my meal plan and they do not delete.  I have requested the deletions again and again, but to no avail.

I also wonder why it is not possible to make substitutions from the available recipes..yesterday, I had a chicken fajita for lunch...I found it in the recipes, but the Alli system would only allow me to substitute from a limited list.  So, my meal plan is incorrect.  Why is there not more leaway to make the meal plan more customized by the user?  There are many things on your meal plan I would never eat, so it is difficult for me to utilize it.

 

Thanks for you help,

Wendy

From the meal plan I cannot substitue breakfast or lunch. I can select substitution and select a meal but it won't save. I can substitute them from the nutrition log, but then the log doesn't match the plan.  Also, there are instances where I can't change the nutrion log.  Everything was fine until yesterday when the alli site went down.  

Me three. Haven't been able to substitute on meal plan for the last 2 days. Worked fine on Sunday, Feb 17 when I made several subs for the week. But when I went to print the plan / shopping list on Monday, all the subs I'd made on Sunday the 17th, were gone and I was unable to do them again. Click "substitute", choose the sub meal, and it simply doesn't appear on the meal plan. Maybe it's because we're all named "Wendy"? :) Thank you. Wendy, also.

I posted earlier on this board, about this issue but haven't had a reply. My subs aren't working either, and I cannot "remove" an item from my meal plan. All subs I made earlier in the week disappeared as well. Can you please help? wendy taylor

Sometimes, after I've removed an item that's on the meal plan from the nutrition log (because I've substituted something else), the meal plan item will show up again in the nutrition log, infating my calorie, etc counts. I've reached the point where I've gone back to the meal plans and removed everything. So far, things that are removed from the meal plan haven't reappeared in the nutrition log. Fingers crossed! 

Hi, I have a different problem with the meal plan. I accidentally deleted a couple of items from my daily log that I wanted to use from the pre-populated fields in the meal plan. For instance, tonight I want to make the Sesame Teryaki Tofu Stir Fry. I accidentally had that checked for deletion. Now when I try to add it back in, I can't it isn't searchable in the database.

 Please help.

If you go to your weekly meal plan, you can substitute the meal, but select the same meal. This should place it back in your daily nutrition log.

Hi, thank you for the suggestion. I had already tried that and have just tried that again. It did not work. Is there anything else I can do?

You can add it as a defined item. From the weekly meal plan you can click the name of the item and gather the nutritional information, then enter it by selecting "define new food" from the daily nutrition log.

Great, I will do that, thanks!

You're welcome.
