Why can't Foodvisor just let me edit food entries without all the hassle?

TL;DR: Foodvisor's food entry edits are too complicated. Anyone else frustrated?

I've been using Foodvisor for tracking my calories, but man, it drives me nuts. I love the AI photo logging feature, but if it gets something wrong (which happens, like, a lot), I have to jump through hoops to correct it. Why can't it just let me fix the mistake in 2 seconds instead of this whole process? I tried Cronometer for a bit, but honestly, I found the interface less intuitive. If I wanted a second job, I'd apply for one, not track my protein intake! Anyone else feel my pain or have tips for making this easier?

I feel you, man. I love using Foodvisor too, but sometimes it feels like a part-time job just correcting the entries. I remember I took a photo of my meal, and it thought my grilled chicken was tofu. Like, bro, really? I want to track accurately without all the hassle. I'm currently trying to switch to something easier. Anyone else feeling this grind?

Facts! If I have to keep correcting my meals, I might as well just lift in the kitchen. I tried CalAI once, and it was hot trash for my meals. It just didn't work for me. I ended up with a fridge full of expired food because I couldn't track it right.

Lol, I tried MFP for a bit and got so frustrated with the food entries. I mean, I'm trying to get lean, not battle with an app! The workout logging was fine, but I was about to throw my phone out the window with the food database. Has anyone here tried Cronometer? I heard it's more data nerd friendly.

Honestly, I might just stick with my bro split and MFP. I'm used to the food list, and switching feels like a hassle. I get the complaints, but muscle memory is a real thing. Changing apps feels like a personal betrayal at this point.

Yep, MFP has been creeping on the paywall side lately. I'm just here trying to get those gains without breaking the bank. For tracking protein and all that, MacroFactor has a solid algorithm too. I like that it adapts to my goals every week. Super helpful.

I get it, the struggle is real! I switched to Nutrola because the photo logging is under 6 seconds. As a busy mom, I don't have time to type everything out while wrangling my kids. Plus, the no-ads feature means I can scroll at 3am without distractions.
