Feature Request: Would like to see the Samsung Health app improvements

I'm not sure where to post this... but several years ago I was using S Health to track exercise... but MyFitnessPal to track Meals... Health has options to create meals and add food. However I would like to see some improvements to this system.

1: Barcode Scanning. MFP has a barcode option to add food manually without having to hand jam every macro, micro, and vitamin. Make scanning foods a possibility.

2: Create A Meal needs the option to set how many servings your meal has. I and many others like to meal prep... I'll make enough lunches for a week or so. Tell me why in 2024 that Samsung Health has no option for me to add 7 pounds of Pork Shoulder, and various ingredients - and then at the end designate that this meal can be portioned into 4 or 5 equal servings? I have to sit there and divide a piece of garlic into the Create-a-Meal into 4 microgram servings as well as each individual ingredient. (Divide a pinch of salt into 4 servings, etc)... just give us the option to make a pot of food, and state that this pot can be portioned into anywhere from 1 to 16 servings..

Please.

Direct import of recipe from Samsung Food to Samsung Health. It's idiotic how much time I waste manually inputting everything when the data fields are right there. Literally an SQL query away

Hello, I’m using a Galaxy Watch 8 with Samsung Health connected to Health Connect and Cronometer. I’ve noticed that while steps and exercise sessions sync properly, Active Energy (calories burned from daily activity/steps) and Total Calories Burned are not exported into Health Connect. This prevents third-party apps from showing an accurate picture of my daily calorie burn. By comparison, Apple’s Health app shares both Resting Energy and Active Energy with other apps, which makes integrations seamless. Could you please escalate this request to the Samsung Health development team? Adding Active Energy / Total Calories Burned export to Health Connect would align Samsung Health with Apple’s ecosystem and allow users to get full value from their Galaxy Watch data. Thank you for your attention to this important feature request. Best JAG100
