Feature: Generic activities with custom calorie consumptions #70

Add generic activity by providing burned calories in kcal

The current approach for adding activities by using information from the "2011 Compendium of Physical Activities" is a great to simplify the matter for casual athletes. Nevertheless, some users may already use fitness trackers that provide accurate information about burned calories per activity.

Implementing connections between fitness apps and OpenNutriTracker will probably conflict with privacy principles.

A privacy friendly and low effort solution would therefore be a feature to manually add activities with custom calorie consumption.

Yes, or just make it possible to override the looked up value with the value from your e.g. running app.
