Phosphorus Tracking Needed
I’d love to see a phosphorus field under nutrition to keep track of phosphorus totals.

I'd love to be able to just be able to take a photo of a nutrition label and have MFP automatically add the information when creating a new food rather than having to type everything in manually.
