You can choose previously created meal types in a given meal plan variant (e.g., breakfast, lunch, dinner) from a drop-down list. You can add as many of them as you wish, depending on your preferences.
To create a new meal type, you can either go to the Meal plans and menus section, select Meal types, and click Add meal type, or you can simply click the Manage meal types button directly.
Once you've ticked the Energy distribution % per meal option, you can adjust how calories are divided among the meals: they can constitute a total of 100% of the caloric values or only part of it. This will allow us to balance meals more easily when creating a menu (screenshot 2). Notably, this feature is not obligatory.
The Free choice of meals option allows customers to choose, during the ordering process, which types of meals from those available in a given variant they want to receive. In that case, you should define their minimum and maximum quantity.

Menu choice - this option allows customers to select their meals directly when ordering.
If you leave this box unchecked, customers will be able to make their selection only after placing the order through the mobile app or in the customer panel.
