11 months ago just a quick note, there is already the necessary backend for such custom units such as "one large egg" or such (in the end, it's just a mutiplication), we just would need to expose this and allow edits

Use case
I am not the kind of guy to have a scale when cooking and it makes it a pain to enter food as I have to research a good bit to enter the correct grams to track my food without a scale. I often cook using units like 3 large eggs and have only recently started hearing about weighing food.
Proposal
I propose having something similar to the workout templates so that we can share and use other users custom units, meals, and nutrition plans. Such a database could simplify the level of difficulty of new users starting to track their nutrition. Submissions by the community could also possibly be reviewed or flagged if they seem amiss. One such example would be Is that I use Large Grade A eggs, and I have never thought of them in terms of grams. But as far as they go they are pretty standard at around 50 grams each. Being able to enter 1 Large egg or seeing someone have the same meal as me and just copy it would lower the barrier to entry and make it a less daunting task.
