Complex meal breakdown on ingredients
Instead of assigning calories to a full meal (e.g. “pasta = 400 kcal”), the app should break meals down into individual ingredients and calculate based on how each ingredient is actually prepared. Current approach leads to inaccurate tracking because cooking methods and ingredient combinations significantly change calories and nutrients.
The correct method is:
Split each meal into ingredients
Account for cooking method (oil, butter, sauces, etc.)
Recalculate total calories and macros from combined ingredients
This would make tracking far more accurate and useful for real-world eating, especially when meals are not standardized.
