There have been several changes to the myalliplan section of the website since the New Year. Below is a list that will help you. If you still have specific questions I suggest you post on the Technical Assistance message board.
I hope this helps.

Defining foods
Go to ‘My Favorite Meals’ and click on the
‘Build a new Favorite Meal’ link
Adding new food/items/recipes
Go to ‘My Favorite Meals’ and click on the
‘Build a new Favorite Meal’ link
Drag and Drop
Drag and Drop only works in the ‘Add Item’
window. You select the item (hold left mouse button down) in the ‘Add
Item’ window (it will highlight yellow) then drag it over the meal
occasion that you would like to add it to, the meal occasion will also
highlight yellow, then release the mouse button to place the item.
Loss of previous custom entered items
All previously added items are now under ‘My
Favorite Meals’.
Logging in nutritional info
The meal plan now assumes that what is listed is what is
eaten. No need to log or confirm what you ate. All you have to do is make sure
the meal plan for the day reflects your intake and you are good to go. So use
the delete and add item functions to edit the meal plan. The nutritional
information will update automatically.
Defined foods are no longer in
alphabetical order
Just click on the heading title to organize. So if you
click ‘meal’ it orders them alphabetically. When you click
‘calories’ it orders low to high, click again and it orders them
high to low. Click ‘Fave’ and it will place your favorites at the
top, click it again and they move to the bottom.
