It still seems insanely difficult to track calories and macros with all the apps out there to do it. Most of the content for searching for your food is "community generated" so if I try to add a "Big Mac" (example, not eating big macs...) then I get like 30 results all with different amounts of calories and nutrition amounts also with slightly different naming. Maybe this exists somewhere??? But if someone can make an app to help me keep track of my food intake in an organized, managed (only one big mac when I search big mac and maybe options to add/remove toppings), fashion I would be slightly less insane counting my protein intake. Yes, this is a difficult task with how much food is out there and thus it has great value if someone does it extremely well.

Oh this is a pain. Even worse is trying to enter calories when you eat at local businesses and non chains

locale is likely a big problem with this, as a canadian big mac might not have the same ingredients as a french or united states big mac

We're working on something like that with Bitesnap. We added "builders" that let you customize the ingredients for common foods and for now we don't mix user submitted items across users. We plan on adding a way to cross verify user submitted data to keep the DB clean. If you have any other ideas/requests I'd love to hear them. I can be reached at "michal at bite.ai"

  This looks awesome, I'm going to give it a try. Do you offer API's for partner integrations? I have a platform (https://meports.com https://meports.com) that I'd see some super valuable synergies with.

I find that myFitnessPal has a lot of good data, but I do figure nothing is exact. Hopefully I don't round down too much! It is hard to maintain the habit of typing everything in however, over time.
