When adding a food or meal, I need to know where my macro targets for the day will be with this addition.

Currently I have to fist go to dashboard, memorize current daily macros, then back to diary, add food, and mentally compare the effect of this item. Too many clicks!

    As a Premium user, you can change the Nutrient view from your Diary as well, so you can have a better idea of your macro targets after adding foods to your Diary.

    What I do in the rare cases where I want that information is to add the food to my diary before I eat it, look at the result, and delete it if I decide not to eat it (or edit to change the serving amount). That seems pretty easy to me. Would that work for you?

    We're all different, but it wouldn't be a time-saver to me to do some pseudo-add, then decide to eat it so add it, vs. doing what I said in the previous paragraph. But we're all different in our preferences.
