Tracking daily alcohol consumption without a barcode #832

Open serrq opened 2 months ago

serrq commented 2 months ago

Sometime I go to the pub with friends.

When drink beer I haven't a barcode, just I know the milliliters and the alcohol percentage.

Might you make me able to build a fake beer without barcode to just tracking the alcohol grams, kilocalories, water inside, etc?

Just go to the food list, tap the floating + button, and enter a name and the nutrition values you want.

Alternatively, if you have the USDA database integration set up, you can also simply search for "beer" in the app and use one of the search results. For example, there is a generic entry called "Alcoholic beverage, beer, regular, all" that might just be what you want.

Cannot we sharing generic beers (5%, 6.5%, 7.5%, 8%,etc.) and coffees (for example I created a coffee in grams)?

What do you think?

I made this to avoid to not tracking the coffee pods, so I just add 7.5g of coffee powder to say to myself: «this is one coffee pod».

All this acts like shortcuts to fastly inserting entries.

Just make generic entries for the alcohols.
Fat Secret or Open Food Facts

Are both good resources to research examples to create your generic entry.
