Make logging calories easier

[rolandgeider]

Not everybody has a nutritional plan, some people just want to log the daily calories. The GUI should be more accomodating to this.

We are "unclaiming" this issue to work on 581 instead!

@rolandgeider What would the implementation of this entail? Adding a form to an existing page? A new page?

[rolandgeider]

I'm not completly sure to be honest. I was thinking of adding a new preference and if that is set, we would hide the links to create plans and make the diary entry more prominent. In the end, this is more a UX question

i wonder how a daily estimate of just a kcal number can be remotely accurate enough to be useful. at the end of the day, do they still remember what they ate all day? perhaps more useful is to predefine "fake meals" where people can enter a certain kcal and macros. so they can at least refer to that repeatedly if they eat the same on multiple days (or multiple times a day), and this would kind of "integrate" with our current system. but this needs input from people who actually want something like this.
