What's the issue:

Many times when I go looking for food I want to know how it is going to impact my daily progress as seen in the progress wheel.  When I pull up a list of food under any tab in the Food section, it simply shows a list of foods with the name of the food.  I have to click on the food item and then it shows me how it impacts my day's macros.  For detail, that's great.

What would help:

What would help me quickly select foods, that would balance out my daily progress wheel, is to show a horizontal stacked color bar for each food in the food list.  This would, at a glance, give me an indication if the food would meet my needs or blow me for any particular macro nutrient.   For example, I am frequently needing to add proteins, but not necessarily fats.  I could glance down the list and look for foods that had a small amount of red and a large amount of blue in the stacked bar, and of course carb green would also stand out.  It shouldn't add much to processing time, because it would be static data stored for each food item.  Nothing would be calculated until the food item was clicked on, then the exact numbers would be calculated as it is now.

 

If any of that is unclear, just ask.
