A way to easily add and track protein amino acids
I often find myself eating packaged foods with added protein isolates such as: pea protein, soy protein, brown rice protein, etc. I think it would be helpful to all people who want to track their micro nutrients, especially their protein amino acids, if Cronometer had a database of amino acid profiles for certain isolates. For example, I can search "pea protein isolate" in Cronometer and type in 20 grams as the amount and it'll fill in the amino acids. I personally would use this feature to edit copies of packaged foods and add in the certain isolate and the amount in order to have a more complete diary. I'll leave a link below as a source that the Cronometer team can use to help them input this data.

Hi Cybernetic,
Thanks for the suggestion! Our curation team will take a look at adding amino acid profiles for protein isolates for this purpose.

I would like to see this as well. I'm really focused on amino acids right now, and cronometer seems to be way off. I can put in a TON of pea protein and it barely registers on the meters. This is very significant to me. I'll just need to measure that on the side for now.
