Natural vs added sugar

Please break out natural sugars eaten vs added sugars. I don't like getting scolded by the app for eating 2 pieces of fruit in a day.

    Our team will definitely look into the possibility of distinguishing between sugars for a future update.

    For now, one workaround is to create a new meal category such as "fruits and vegetables" to log items containing natural sugars. When the food diary is viewed on our full website, or via our iPad app, nutrients are sub-totaled on a per-meal basis, making it possible to see your total natural sugar intake by logging the relevant items in a single meal.

    I realize this may not be quite what you're looking for, but hopefully it can work for the time being!
