Feature Request - Food Logging: Filters for the database search

Firstly I’d like to say - this is not just MFP daily food logging is frustrating and time consuming. MFP has come along way since I first started using it, I…
Hi! I'm a new member!

Hi! New member here. I’m a 56 y.o. female and I joined to help me lose about 20 lbs and keep it off.
I’m having a hard time knowing which item to choose from the list of foods when I’m searching. Some of the calories vary a lot for the same food item. Is there a trick? Also, any suggestions for someone who gets hungry 2-3 hours after eating? I’ve tried eating more protein, more fiber, & foods that take longer to digest…

Add "Time Eaten" to Food Logging
I would like to suggest adding an option to include 'Time Eaten' when logging food for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner or snacks. Over time, tracking would reveal good or bad habits. Recording time eaten would also be helpful for people who do IF.
Food/calories logging from pics
In 2015, Google once tried to analyse photos of food and determine the calories contained in the food depicted. The app was called "Im2Calories". Unfortunately, there was never a public product. Would be also great to have this functionality in MFP. AI has continued to develop...
Newish here! Need friends to motivate and be motivated
Mostly trying to get back to tracking what I eat, so I can see what I need to change, before starting to exercise. I'm super friendly and would like to become friends with people in the same boat, or people who have been there. I'm currently sitting at 300lbs, and I want to get healthier before getting pregnant again.
Anyone having trouble with logging food on the app today?
The food page looks weird and wont let me log my meals. Anyone else?

My shorties, how much do y'all eat?
