Keep it as accurate as possible, and maintainable, and then it will be easy to add larger features. If no one else does, I might add a calorie tracker of some sort, it would be helpful to my mom. It is helpful as it is even now. How difficult would it be to add translations right now? She might look for "tojás" which is "egg" in Hungarian, and I would like her to be able to do that at some point.

This is data from the world that has altered and augmented with stuff from a model. The informational content has been altered by stuff not from the world. Therefore it’s no longer data, according to the above definition.

That isn’t to say that it can’t be useful, or anything like that. But it’s _not_ information collected from the world. And that’s why people who care about science and a strict definition of data would be offended by calling this a dataset.
