Move a meal to another day

There is no drag and drop in Bolus. Moving a meal is done with a swap, which keeps the shopping list and the week’s structure consistent.

How to do it

Open the meal on the day you want it, tap Swap, and pick the meal you wanted to move there. Apply it to this slot.

In the suggestions you will see a badge on meals that are already in your plan, so you can tell you are bringing something forward rather than adding something new.

What happens to the meal you displaced

Bolus does not throw it away. Depending on the swap it may move the outgoing meal to the slot you took the new one from, or leave it out of the week. Either way it tells you what it did with a short confirmation after the swap.

When a night is simply not happening

If the problem is that you are not cooking that night at all, Something else is the better tool: it records that you ate out or skipped, and saves the ingredients. See skip a meal or eat out.

Changing the time rather than the day

If the meal is happening, just later or earlier, you do not need to move anything. Meal times are a setting, and you can correct the actual time on a meal you have eaten. See cooking effort and meal times.
