Quick access to adding food to diary

I'd like to see either a quick link on the dashboard to add food, or the ability to change the default screen when opening to the diary, rather than the dashboard.
the vast majority of times I open the app, I am doing so to log some food that I have consumed, rather than just generally checking my overall progress. If I have been active on my phone the app will be closed in the background, and upon reopening it will go to the dashboard first. Currently I have to wait for the app to load, then wait a moment as it switches back from the diary to the dash page, and then hit the diary button before I can add food.
If there was a setting to change the default page to the diary, or alternatively a 'quick add' button on the dashboard page to jump straight into the 'add food' dialog, it would save me some time and a little frustration every time I open your fine app

Are you on the most current version of the app? The bottom of the dashboard should have a (static) search bar by which you should be able to search for or scan food items without needing to go to the diary.0
