Auto-check the checkbox for food/exercise changes

When a user edits the quantity value in the 'Add Food' (or exercise) entry page (in the list of Recent, Frequent, etc.), automatically set the checkbox to 'checked' for that line item.
Setting the checkbox automatically, presumes the user wants to add the item to their log (i.e. we are assuming they're not editing the quantity for no reason). When the user (me) edits some quantity values and then forgets to check one or more of the checkboxes it is annoying to have to go back and re-enter the same data again. Auto-checking the box will enhance the user experience and increase satisfaction with the site user interface behavior.
