write
Adds one product or meal from search_food to the chosen meal and day, in grams, milliliters or a handy measure the product offers, such as a slice or a package. It reaches no one and is undone with one call, delete_diary_item, so it runs without asking first.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| food_id string required | string | Product or meal ID from search_food. |
| meal string required | string | Meal name from your Fitatu meal scheme. By default: breakfast, second breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack or supper. |
| amount number required | number | How much, in the unit below. |
| unit string required | string | gram, milliliter or a measure the product lists, e.g. slice, teaspoon, handful or package. |
| date date | date | Day to log on, YYYY-MM-DD. Default: today. |
