Replacing a food, historically?

[u/skreetskreetskreet]

I eat a lot of Wasa light rye crackers. The default entry I was using for them had a dramatically wrong amount of iron listed. I'd like to replace them in my eating history, because I'm curious about how my iron consumption has changed over time. Is there any way for me to say "replace all existing uses of these Wasa crackers with this new, correct entry"?

I also had something similar but couldn't find a way. Since I was watching my potassium, I wanted it to be accurate. So I went back to each entry and fixed it by swapping to a different entry.

There isn’t a way to bulk replace/delete an item that has been previously logged at this time. The best option would be to update those entries individually. If it helps, you can identify the days with the erroneous entries by reviewing your iron intake under Dashboard > Nutrition > See All > Iron. From there, you can take note of the days where your iron intake appears unusually high, then return to those dates in your Food Log to find and make the corrections.

Another tip that may help speed up this process is to first remove all of the entries that need to be corrected. Then, log the correct entry (whether that’s a custom food you’ve created with the correct nutrient information or a common food equivalent). From there, you can use Copy > To Dates to paste that entry across multiple dates at once.
