Good app but wrong category label bugs me

For some reason, all carbohydrates are under the “protein” category. Pasta is not a protein. There should be at least be an option to customize the labels.

Needs to be on android

This app is great but not on android

FANTASTIC!

Hi! I LOVELOVELOVE THIS APP! It's so helpful and it let's people all be in control of their own lunch.
However, I do wish that you could add a drink or a few with your lunch and make a higher limit for how many food items you can add.
Thanks!

Awesome for all ages. Needs a drink section

I am 19 years old and I found this app recently. I have been wanting to meal plan and this app has helped. I found it last week.
I also used the La La Breakfast app.
I think the sections of protein vegetable, fruit and snack are great. The only thing I can think of to add to the app is a drinks section.
I like the little monsters and colors that can be made for each child, or activity. I have one lunchbox labeled my name, and one lunchbox titled Pool Snacks. I like that I can add my own food items with pictures. I used it to plan my breakfasts for the next week. I wish I had found it sooner for myself. I use this app for myself only and I am not a parent.
Sincerely
Mina Cheetah

Love this app!!

If I could give this app 10 stars, I would. First of all, the idea behind this app is genius. It’s so easy to use, and the grocery list feature is super helpful. My kids love their lunches now that they help choose what goes in them. I follow her on Instagram and her lunches constantly blow me away. This app is awesome. Totally recommend!!
