Phosphorus Tracking Needed
I’d love to see a phosphorus field under nutrition to keep track of phosphorus totals. I realize most companies don’t include it in their nutrition labels, but if you could add the field and make it modifiable so we can add the amount in if we know it, that would be really good. I’ve used the MFP app for many years and…

Capturing nutrition info from a photo
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.
