More user-friendly way of adding foods, please!

25 votes

If users want to simply look up an item, they need to click on a meal and "add" to look it up, to then just not add it.

We should be able to (+) ADD FOOD from the button to add or lookup foods.

I've scanned barcodes to not have them show up, so I create; but on the screen then it asks to scan the barcode again. This shouldn't happen.

Then where it asks to input the nutrients, why have two separate screens? As I input fats, I should be able to add saturated fats, for example. It takes 5 separate screens to get through the process - why not just 1-2 screens?

So here the suggestion would be to have these all on the same screen, with "add more" below to add vitamins etc.

Hi, what about giving the choice to merge groceries for the given time, keeping the portions we just added for the day or week. The actual system takes a LOT of time to use.

Also, please allow for a complete list of nutrients to be added. Maybe the item I have is fortified with a certain vitamin, but that vitamin isn't listed as an entry I can make. WOuld it not be easier (and more accurate for nutrient counting) to have them all listed.
