Swapping meals
Something else: skip, eat out, or eat later
Some nights the planned meal just is not happening. On a meal, tap Something else and pick what is actually going on.
Your options
- Ate out. For a restaurant, a takeaway, or someone else cooking. Bolus logs it and leaves the ingredients for later.
- Skip this meal. You are not eating it. Bolus saves the ingredients rather than wasting them.
- Eat later. You still want to cook it, just on a different day.
What Bolus does next
If you had already bought the ingredients, Bolus reshuffles the rest of the week so nothing goes off before you get to it. It only moves meals that are already planned, and it works out the order based on which ingredients spoil soonest. It never invents new meals to fill a gap.
You will see a short Week reshuffled summary telling you what moved. Any meal that could not fit back into this week is held over and shown as Reserved, ready for a future week.
Changed your mind
Every reshuffle can be undone. If you mark the meal as cooked after all, Bolus quietly puts the week back. See undo a change.
