food / eating / nutrition
My coach thinks I'm likely not getting enough protein, and he's probably right, which means it's time to dive back down the rabbit hole of food tracking apps. Any suggestions?
I mostly cook from scratch, so with most data entry is tedious super-obnoxious. What I really want is something where I can free-form enter an ingredient list (a la Paprika), and have it work out the calories/macros. Does this exist?
(Don't suggest MyFitnessPal, it's the worst in this regard.)

@jacob I tried out MacroFactor for a bit. I didn''t *love* some aspects of the interface, but IIRC that was because when I'm dieting I often eat slight variations on the same thing every day, and I didn't see good options for stuff like, "Copy what I had for dinner yesterday to dinner today".
They had some sort of thing where you could use natural language like, "A handful of almonds" and it would try and estimate what you ate. Not sure about the recipe thing, though.

@jacob Though if it's really just that you are short on protein in your life, you may just want to deal with whatever annoying thing you have for a few weeks and you'll pretty quickly learn how to get enough protein in your meals. If you are not a vegan, egg whites, non-fat greek yogurt and whey protein are pretty easy ways to just inject protein into whatever you are eating without adding many calories. Grilled chicken breast is also basically 100% protein.
