food recs based remaining nutrient needs for day

josephcolletti

Hello, myfitnesspal (MFP),

You know what would be cool? ...

If the app recommended foods to eat to close my calorie gap, and only in the nutrient bins i need.


for example: let's say I have 300 calories left to eat today, but i've already consumed my daily goal for carbs ... but still have a gap on fat and protein ... it would be helpful if MFP gave me some suggestions on foods (portions, types) that are low in carbs, and higher in fats/proteins ... then i could seek those out ... for example it would say, "hey you've reached your limit for carbs for the day .. try some eggs or nut butter, etc."

maybe select from my "most used" list and calculate required portions/combinations to meet the goal gap ??
