My goodness, I just started trying to use MyFitnessPal to track my food intake and was wishing that something like this existed.

Is there a way to save prior entries as meals? I am a boring person and I eat the same thing for breakfast 7 days a week. I would like to just add this with one click instead of selecting: Eggs... Spinach... Oatmeal... etc. MyFitnessPal has this and it is a great time saver.

Hey. We recognize your past meals, so if you take a picture of something again it will let you copy the entries.

Just to add to what m_ke said, we do a visual search to recognize when you're eating a meal that's the same as one you've logged before. You can copy all of the items, including the portions and customizations that you entered before, with one touch.

One neat thing is that our model has figured out which features are relevant to this task -- so tomorrow, even if you eat eggs, spinach, and oatmeal in a different container or at a different place than you did today, we can still recognize that it's the same thing.

You can see this in action in the first shot of our demo video:
