Would it be possible le to add a phytoestrogen calculator to this app? It would be really cool to see next to the other nutrient info for those of us looking to track natural estrogen intake.

    It would be difficult to do accurately, because the food database is crowd-sourced (entered by regular MFP users like you and me), and phytoestrogens aren't required to be listed on food labels (so almost never are). Where would the data come from? At best, MFP could add a database field for it, and people who care would have to find the data and update their food choices with the data.

    I don't mean to be grim, but that's my feeling about it as someone with a career that involved data management/data architecture. I'm not an employee of MFP, though.

    The MFP staff doesn't read every post in the Community. If you want to suggest this as a new feature, post it here:

    The MFP staff do read posts there, and often will respond.

    Best wishes!
