Subject: Food calorie counter in training logRon,  
I recently read an article that was about if it is overtraining or undereating  (most are undereating issues ) and another that asked why more triathletes pay more to their nutrition regimen? Because it's confusing.  I have no real idea how much of what I'm eating, so today for the first time I'm adding items in my log that I eat.  I downloaded from another website a food calorie list, plus what I have for wrapper nutrition facts, to see how many calories I'm consuming.   Knowing me, I won't track my calories very long if I have to have do a lot of manual cross-referencing or track yet another speadsheet, but at least I'll get an idea since I'm more or less a creature of habit on what I eat! 
  
In the training log it would be a great addition if the Nutrition section could be expanded for calorie calculation cross referenced to food selections.  I could see something like with the weightlifting exercise section.  There could be a number of food catagories  (meats, fruits and Veg, Breads and nuts, beverages, Energy /meal replacements  (power bars, etc ), etc to get items consumed.  Also a number of meal times such as AM, mid-AM, mid-day, mid-PM, PM, evening, late-evening.  To get fancy carbs, protein and fats calc'd out  too.   
  
Just a thought...I love the training log feature and feel this would be a good addition to it.  Just let me know how much to contribute to get this feature:- )
