Nutrition Manager Suggestions

[empaloalto]

Hi ~ I signed up for the nutrition manager for a year, and don't seem to be using it as much as I hoped. I must be doing something wrong. This can't be so time consuming. Right?

I sat down again today & while I was adding my foods, the light is starting to go on for me. (fewf!)

I do however, have a few suggestions, that would help me click through this even faster:

I like the search box. I think it's fast with the least amount of clicks. I think I'd use that the most - but I wish it would also search my recipes and favorites - and include those in the "Top Choices" section. Since those are the foods I eat most, it would be much faster than the multiple clicks to get to those areas (My recipes & my favorites). What's more is I can never remember which of my items is in which area, so I find myself hunting around all the areas (Recipes, Favorites, Search, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner....) before I get it right.

Also, I wish the boxes weren't a static pop up. I'd prefer to make it a full page, so I don't have to scroll around. (especially for My Favorites, which has gotten long)

A few other ideas have to do with the food selections (and I know other members have mentioned this). I wish there were "light, lowfat" versions (vs just Full Fat or Non Fat). I also wish there were brand names ie. "Silk" - rather than just "milk, Soy, Ready to drink". It's tough to know if that's really what I'm eating.

I'll keep at it, I'm sure I'll learn to navigate it better. Just wanted to send along some suggestions that could help speed up the process. Thanks!
