While you certainly succeeded in simplifying the UX, I'm not for simplifying the data on food. Is there any database of "concentrations of vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients" you could integrate?
I know this would defeat the purpose of a "simple" tracker, but I believe that we need to support the message that food is "complex" [1].

- gusgordon 3y agoTotally - right now it's using the USDA food nutrient database [1] which has all nutrients, so all the nutrients on the back-end are there. Calories is the most important thing to the majority of people (in my experience), so there's a balance between showing too much information vs. keeping things simple. Probably should just add a setting to show everything, though. [1] https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/download-datasets.html https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/download-datasets.html
