Any easy way to electronically get/print/export all nutrient info?

The nutrients to be shown in the daily food diary can be changed in settings. Once can repeatedly change those selected to get ones not shown, but it there a way to add columns so more nutrients can be shown all at once rather than this convoluted back and forth, multiple click process? Is there a way to add columns of different nutrients to the printable diary (the one that can show multiple days)? Is there a way to export all nutrient data to Excel or some other electronic file, for instance as a CSV file? Currently I choose a number of nutrients and then copy and past to Excel, then go back and change the nutrients selected and then copy and past the new ones. For the totals in the printable diary I have to search and replace the "g" and "mg" so Excel will recognize the totals as number. I haven't figured out how to electronically copy or capture info from the reports and charts webpages.

    I tried this as well. You are limited to the number of columns to view by default and like you said you change them to the available defaults MFP gives you but this is limited..

    If someone else knows of a trick, hopefully they will post it here..

    When you say copy and paste to Excel, where are you copying from? I am looking at REPORTS and it shows a graph, one nutrient at a time. blech. In Food Summary I don't see any nutrient info. In Diary, I see this:

    Is that what you meant? You just copy those raw Total numbers?

    It's a start, but then I would have to do my own charts and analysis. :D

    I'm okay with the 5 items shown, but it sure would be nice if there were more info and it was more automated. A weight/calorie tracking chart would be cool too.
