Calorie Density Indicator

Did you ever think of adding a calorie density indicator? Calorie density was developed by Barbara Rolls, PhD. She called it Volumetrics and wrote a book by the same name. Its basic assumption is that a nutrient-dense, calorie-dilute lifestyle will lead to healthy, permanent weight loss. This approach recommends consuming foods, that when you take their serving size calories/their serving size grams are <=1.25. These foods fill us up before they fill us out. It would be great to be able to select an option in your app which depicts the result of this calculation for the foods logged. Chef AJ also talks extensively about this if you'd like more information. Thank you for your consideration and I love your app!
