Tagging Suggestion

I'm not sure if this is the right place to do so but I've got a suggestion to improve the way you can add tagged food items to the fod log.

When I look on the "tagged items" tab there's a little blue box on the left hand side where it's possible to add a food item with 1 click. I think it'd be helpful if you could select more than one food at a time to add from this list with a check box type system (similar to in your email inbox where you can select several items at once to delete etc.) that way it'd be much quicker to add several things at once rather than flicking between the food log and tagged items tabs. I tend to log my food at the end of the day rather than as I go along so it can take a while flcking backward and forwards to add everything.

Anyone else agree?

Well, if you eat the same "meal" a lot, you can group your tags. 

For example, say you eat the exact same 3 egg white, cheese and broccoli omelet everyday for breakfast.  You would tag 3 egg whites, and name the tag "omelet".  Then tag your cheese, and also name it "omelet" and then tag your broccoli and name it "omelet".   The you will see in your tagged item "omelet" with a #3 next to it, meaning the tag has 3 items in it.  You click the one + button, and it automatically adds all three items to you food log.   Great for cereal & milk, sandwiches, whatever you eat repetitively that has more than one ingredient.

Edit - to the OP however, that is a really good idea.  I have so much tagged, it would be nice to do as you said, just be able to check them and add them all at once.

huh.. wow i didn't know you could do that, but i still like the OP's idea better than that. 

Is this actually the right place to make suggestions? Or should I message one of the moderators or something?

I have a suggestion about the "tagged" item list. It would be nice if we were able to put them into categories such as Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. It would make finding our regular foods easier than having to scroll through the whole list.

I did see about the having more than 1 item together which I have done for things like creamer. But, when having different things for breakfast, lunch, or dinner it would make sense to have them in groups.

Just a thought........

It's fine to post suggestions here.  The moderators do not have the authority to act on your suggestions, and if contacted we forward these to the administrative team.

To make it quicker, look way down at the bottom of the page and click on "contact."  Fill in the form, state your suggestion and it goes right to admin.
