Food inventory

sccst

I imagine that the majority of us using this app add our own foods and input all the corresponding data manually given that the macro data listed in the foods in the database is not always accurate and we want to be as accurate as possible when recording but also since many of us using the app are not from the US, our foods/drinks etc just aren't the same and/or aren't in the MFP database at all so with that said I think a great feature to add here would be the ability to keep a running inventory of all the food we have in our homes. While we can already view a list of our custom added foods within the app, it would add much convenience if we could also see how much of each item we had. We can update our inventory after a shopping trip and as we plan our meals and add foods to our diary it will automatically deduct x amount of that item from our inventory. While there are individual apps like this it is just too inconvenient/time consuming/wasteful to use multiple apps or keep a list, what if we are planning our meals away from home? It seems like this feature could easily be added to the app without much fuss since most of the groundwork is already there and keeping this all within 1 app would be amazing and really put MFP above the rest.

I'm in the US but like your idea as I've noticed a lot of MFP users outside the US
