Option to only add total nutritional values per day (kCal, protein, fat, carbs, fiber)

I like to see a option to only add the total nutritional values per day (kCal, carbs, protein, vat, fibers) and not every meal.

I would like to add to this that I do not necesarrely want to add every ingredient one by one for each meal. Sometimes I buy takeaway and I would just like to make a guesstimate for the nutrient contents.

Currently its impossible to add calories or other nutrients manually. Adding an option to easily add a custom ingrediënt (or meal) would be amazing. So you can manually add the nutrient values.

Generally I think the whole Nutritional tracking could use an overhaul. Currently It is insufficient for me to use as a daily driver. Manual entering should be the 1# priority, not finding items in a database through searching or barcodes. The latter does not even work for me.

When I used it for the first time it took me a good hour to figure out how it works. Indicating that the interface is unintuitive.

Features or redesigns I think would be a good idea:

• User should be able to manually add ingrediënts with Nutritional values.

• User should be able to make a new meal under the 'Select a meal to log to diary's. The button is now on the Nutritional plan page which confused me.

• Generally an overhaul of the UI, there is lots of clutter and hard to find functionality. I will not voice an opinion on how, as I haven't thought this out clearly yet. But I think simplicity is key here.

Perhaps I can even try to code something myself. Who knows!

Thanks for taking your time with wger, I think it's an amazing and important project.
