Figures, during a meal, to be helpful health-wise (7)

medical
I'm afraid I can't even guess how this answer relates to the clue.

(Other definitions for medical that I've seen before include "Relating to treatment rather than surgery" , "Declaim (anag) -- health check" , "Relating to doctors" , "Test for health" , "Claimed (anag.)" .)
