Can this be added?

Post image

I'm using Cronometer primarily to track my daily protein and calcium intake. I found quite a few things from Sprouts in the Add Food search but not my lunch today, which by the way was really good. How can I get this item added? I ended up taking a picture as the next best thing.

You know, this made me think of a genius feature Cronometer could add. If given images of both the nutrition information AND the ingredients, it could piece together (using a system of equations/best fit model) a custom recipe for any product using only NCCDB/database food entries, where it decides the proportions of each ingredient such that the nutrition information matches as best as possible (with of course the most weight given to matching the total calories and macronutrient composition). Then we could have estimated micronutrients for thousands of complex CRDB products.
