Dear sirs, could it be possible for you to build a feature where my remaining daily allowance of macro nutrients is assessed and then a button is pressed to suggest foods/snacks that could help me reach the target for the day?

    You could try posting that suggestion here. I'll be honest, as a database designer, I can tell you that adding a feature like that would be an enormous undertaking, so I wouldn't hold my breath, but do take a shot at it - you never know :)

    Or it would return so many results the information would be useless. As far as I know there is no distinction of types of food so you might have to scroll through pages of things like condiments and side items from restaurants nowhere near you.

    Look at the Cronometer app, it does exactly what you describe.

    Lifesum tries to do that. It told me the other day that the answer to all my problems was nuts. :D
