Error when calling get_food_search_results("bacon cheeseburger")

Hi team,

I am developing a super simple webapp to better follow up my metrics and I found out this error when running the example in your documentation.

client.get_food_search_results("bacon cheeseburger")

Any suggestion for this error?

Thanks John! Looks like the referenced element ('utf8') no longer exists in this page, and the search request (https://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/search) no longer expects it. It appears to be safe to remove. See PR #159

Hi, I still get an IndexError with 2.0.1:

import myfitnesspal
import browser_cookie3

client = myfitnesspal.Client(browser_cookie3.safari())

food_items = client.get_food_search_results("bacon cheeseburger")

Traceback (most recent call last):
