units conversion bug
Entering 0.6 as a unit resolves to 4/8. That's incorrect.
Whilst we're on the subject, it's really frustrating that there's no commonality on the choice of units across all food groups. There are documented conversions between g, oz, tbsp, cups etc. so why can't we use any unit on any food no matter how it was originally entered? Rather than having to perform calculations like the above.
Furthermore - when choosing foods from the search, it should show what a "serving size" is in ALL cases.

Nutrition tracking
I'm just getting started with this app online and using my android phone. Entering food is a bit clunky but I'm managing OK.
The two main omissions making this app complete to me are;
1) Being able to put a meal together and recall a typical plate of food from day to day. Right now I'm entering a plate of food as separate ingredients. this may be possible with recipes, I've not got that far yet, but it's adding things like "a cup of tea with milk". Or "jam sandwich". I'd love a quick checkbox for tagging recent combos like that.
2) and this should be really easy to implement. My food diary doesn't seem to track nutrition. This would be a real USP for the app. I'd like to know for instance that given what I ate on tuesday I'm low in fiber, or calcium. It tracks the RDI for calories but not vitamins or other minerals. The data is there, please could we have this.
As a bonus, the app could suggest foods that might fix it whilst keeping within your target weight. For instance, if potassium and fiber need to be upped it could suggest eating a banana if the calorie RDI would allow for it.
