Can I lock a meal I eat every single day so it never gets replaced?
Yes — in Sculpt you can lock a meal, and a locked meal is never replaced by any rebuild. Your same-every-day breakfast stays exactly as it is while calories, macros and the rest of your meals adjust around it.
Meal-planning apps love variety — and for a lot of people, variety is the enemy of consistency. If the same three scrambled eggs and oats have started your day for five years, a plan that keeps replacing them with overnight chia pudding isn’t optimizing your nutrition, it’s ignoring your life.
In Sculpt you say it once — “lock my breakfast, I eat the same thing every day” — and it’s pinned. When your goals change and your day gets rebuilt, the locked meal is the fixed point the rest of the plan is solved around: calories and macros for the remaining meals flex so the day still adds up.
That’s the general philosophy at work: the plan adapts to you, and the things you’ve declared non-negotiable stay put.

Common questions
- What exactly does locking a meal do?
- It pins that meal in place. Whatever else changes — goals, calories, a rebuilt week of meals — the locked meal is never swapped out. The rest of your day is planned around it.
- Why would I lock a meal instead of just re-adding it?
- Because re-adding is you doing the app's job. If you eat the same breakfast every day, that's a fact about your life, not a daily decision. Locking makes it a standing rule the plan has to respect.
- Can I unlock it later?
- Yes — a lock is your rule, and you can lift it whenever your routine changes. Until you do, no rebuild touches it.
