How do I adjust my Meal Pattern Template?

How to change your meal names, times, and structure to match your real schedule and training.

Your Meal Pattern controls when you eat, what each meal is called, and how many eating occasions you have each day. You can set a different pattern for every day of the week, and any change you make automatically updates your carbohydrate recommendations.

Accessing your Meal Pattern settings

  1. Tap More.

  2. Tap Profile.

  3. Tap Personalised Nutrition.

  4. Tap Edit Meal Pattern.

This is where you'll make all the changes below.

Renaming a meal

  1. Tap on any meal name (for example, "Lunch").

  2. Edit the text.

  3. Tap Update.

Your new name is saved and used throughout the app.

Changing a meal time

  1. Tap on a meal's time stamp.

  2. Use the scroll wheel to set the new time.

This makes it easy to line meals up with training sessions, work, or recovery windows.

Changing a meal type

  1. Tap on a meal.

  2. Change its type between Main and Snack.

  3. Tap Update.

Adding a meal or snack

  1. Tap the ellipses (⋯) at the top of the screen.

  2. Select Add New Meal.

  3. Set it up using the same options as your other meals.

Setting different patterns for different days

Every day of the week can have its own meal structure - useful if your schedule or training changes day to day.

  • To remove a meal from a specific day, swipe left on it and delete it.

  • To add a meal that's specific to one day, use the Add New Meal steps above on that day only.

Copying a pattern to other days

  1. Tap the ellipses (⋯).

  2. Select Copy Meal Pattern.

  3. Confirm.

How this affects your Carb Coding™

Hexis assigns each meal a carb code - low, medium, or high - based on your training for that day. Any change to your meal pattern, like moving a meal earlier or adding an extra snack, immediately triggers Hexis to recalculate these carb codes so your nutrition still matches your training demands.

Making quick changes on the day

For fast, one-off adjustments, go to your Fuel Plan:

  1. Swipe left on a carb code.

  2. Tap Edit.

  3. Adjust or delete the meal directly.


FAQs

Will Hexis change my meal timings automatically?

No. Hexis won't move your meal times for you - this is by design, so you have the freedom to personalise your Meal Pattern to fit your own schedule and preferences. If your timings need to change, you can update them yourself at any time using the steps above.
