Description
Our nutrition pages could be improved (especially #15). We will likely do a major overhaul in the future. In the meantime, however, we might implement some small, simple tweaks to make it a little more user friendly.
One thing that is frustrating is when a user is trying to log an entire meal or day's worth of food. They may be logging many items simultaneously. When doing this it becomes tedious to change things like the date and meal over and over again to the same thing.
For example, say you forgot to log yesterday. So now you are logging 17 things all at once. Under our current system you would have to change the date 17 times and the meal 17 times.
One fix to make this slightly easier may be to change the date of all of all items below automatically. So, for example, if you change the date of the first item to Jan 20, all the other items also change to Jan 20. Now if at the bottom of the list you added 3 items from Jan 21, changing the first of those 3 would change the 2 below it as well. This way you only had to change the date twice instead of 17 times.
The same thing could be done with the Select Meal option. So if you change an item to Lunch, the items below it also change to lunch. This would save our users some hassle and make our nutrition logging system slightly more convenient.

Imagine how slightly easier it would be if when you changed the date or meal of an item in the list, all the items below it automatically changed to match.
