Hi

I think it would be a useful option in the quick tools to compare other meals (as in breakfast-lunch - dinner or even snacks) rather than just the same meal on a different day.

As an example i may make a meal but eat it one evening and then for lunch the next day, ideally i could add all the items in for dinner and then quick add them again for breakfast or lunch (maybe adjusting the sizes)

Good example (or should i say bad) Pizza for dinner, Pizza for breakfast the next day ;-)
Spag bol for Dinner - Spag bol for lunch.
Sausages for Lunch - Sausages for snack.

Other smaller improvements would include
multi scanning, rather than having to individually load the scanner all the time.
better DB information, many times i have clicked on something and it has the correct description but not the correct count, for example i searched for Asda Sausages, it showed one with 195 calories but no fat, sugars, protein or salt, which of course is almost impossible!
A set timeline on weight loss, the 5 week is a good target for information but if someone wants to countdown to a holiday or a set period of time they could customise so that it tracked and counted with them..."if you continue to eat like this your weight will be xxx by your holiday to Spain!"

Hope this can be incorporated into the software, but im very impressed and would like to congratulate you all on your efforts for getting such good software out into the market.

Thanks

Currently you can copy your meal from last night's dinner to tonight's dinner, then click on each food to move it. Pretty annoying if you have a lot of foods in your meal though.


It's not almost impossible. Calories have to come from fat, protein, or carbs. However, this is a fix that's not going to happen, because most of the items in the database are user-entered. You can edit the information yourself, however.

You have a couple options within the current system besides what ElizabethRoad mentioned.

Take last nights dinner, hit quick tools and remember meal....
go to lunch today and click to the "my meals" tab when you're adding food, select last nights dinner and bam it's logged, great when you're eating everything or even not because as a my meal you can remove items that you didn't eat the second time around once it's logged in your diary.

You can change how the site looks for your meals so that foods you've logged for dinner show up in your most used / recent foods for lunch, breakfast etc...
on the food > food diary> pick a meal and click add food
on the "add food to (picked meal)" page
RIGHT below the search box it says
"or add favorites for (picked meal)"
click that (picked meal) and select the only other option which is all meals.

Profit by logging your breakfast items for dinner, snack items for lunch or whatever combination you care to come up with across your up to 6 meals a day.


As for food items.... MFP doesn't calculate anything on the foods. The calories reported are what the user who entered the food put... calories are the one required nutrition item to create a food though those who decide to report only calories i do wish they'd NOT share the food item with the general database ;)
You can find tuna in the database with 70 calories yet 0 fat or protein.
You can find foods with 200 calories but 400 calories worth of macro (carb, fat, protein) tracked, just take a glance at the calories reported and use 4calories per gram for carbs and protein and 9 calories per gram for fat to see if it's close / accurate.

Any user entered entry in the database can be changed (these are the ones marked with *) and you access this on the right in the box where you tell your food diary how much of that item to log... click nutritional info.... and then "is this information correct" if NO then you'll be prompted if you want to fix it, doing so would mark the item as a my food so you can log it from there without having to search for it all over again.
