Hi

First of all you have an excellent application. I hate counting
calories, but this makes my life a lot simpler.

Could you add a feature that when a food or meal is added it will also
track the time of day it was added. In dieting, keeping your
metabolism up is very important. To do this food needs to be consumed
every few hours. This would allow the user to know if they are keeping
on schedule.

Also providing a way to export the data would be useful. I report my
results to my doctor and I have to rewrite all the information. Even
if the data could be sent through an e-mail it would be useful.

Keep up the good work.

Thank you!

The time issue will be solved in the pro version. All current users
will have the opportunity to upgrade to for free.

The export we are exploring a variety of ideas. The issue is primarily
that some people want a CSV data dump. Some want some kind of visually
prepared thing (like charting or graphing) and some want to send a
daily text e-mail to their doctor. Supporting all of them immediately
is not viable. We are trying to ascertain which type of export will
help the most people and do that one first.

I'm hoping to have some kind of export in the pro version as well. But
this feature has to take a back seat to some of the other enhancement
requests. There is a great deal more data that the pro version will
track. We want the export feature to be able to export all of it. As
such, it makes sense to wait and see how people use the new features
and *then* provide the export capability tuned to all the data.
