Record stored food

6 votes

I was tiding up my closet and I find a couple of food expired or close to the expiring date.
I realize that I’m tracking the calories but not the food itself at my place.
So, I thought that could be useful to have a section in the app where we could create a “Room” (a category) like “Fridge” or “Cupboard” and adding item to it, like type of food, quantity, expiring date and so on.

Then, I can think to some implementations:
-We could actually receive a notification when something is close to it expiring date, like a remainder
-We could also have a suggested meal to prepare with the food close to expiring
Like, “hey, eggs will expire in 2 days, why don’t you try them in a delicious cheese and ham omelette”

-When adding a meal to our tracking we could have a section to select it and automatically reduce the quantity of that food from the category like “Fridge”, as it was used up in a meal.
Like, “hey, you are eating 2 eggs, should I remove them from the “Fridge”?

Thanks a lot,

When u have at hand a list of products that are in ur refrigerator as well as their weight and calorie content, it becomes even more convenient to bring food and manage it. Thank you!

Perishable food is a large part of this food and fasting journey. Recipes which include recently purchased items are necessary for meal planning and subsequent shopping trips. I'd like to be able to arrange them and track them in some kind of "pantry" and/or "fridge" location in the app. Items on hand like nutritional supplements, or dry goods and others purchased in bulk or larger packages, require various infrequent replenishment as opposed to fresh vegetables and such. Great idea!
