2. Customizing Your Meal Options

The wheel comes with a default list of common food types, but the real power comes from personalization. You can easily edit the list to include your favorite dishes, local restaurants, or specific dietary choices.

  1. Go to the "Entries" tab.
  2. Clear the default list and type in your own options, one per line. For example:
    Pizza Place on Main
    Thai Kitchen
    That new Burger Joint
    Leftovers
  3. Give some options a higher chance! If you're really craving Italian, you can give it a weight: Italian Food : 3. This option will now be three times more likely to be chosen.

Use the 📥 Import and 📤 Export buttons to save and load different lists. You could have a "Quick Lunch" list, a "Date Night Restaurants" list, or a "Healthy Choices" list!
