 * Hi,
    I was editing a ready made theme and I had to create custom fields for nutritional
   facts, in my test I created only 3 fields and as I saw I should declare each 
   one in my code like that:
 *     ```
       <div>
               <span class="item">Protein</span>
               <span class="value"><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Protein',true); ?></span>
           </div>
           <div>
               <span class="item">Sodium</span>
               <span class="value"><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Sodium',true); ?></span>
           </div>
           <div>
               <span class="item">Sugars</span>
               <span class="value"><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Sugars',true); ?></span>
           </div>
       ```
   
 * but what if the admin wanted to add an extra field, say Cholesterol?
    how can
   I make it responsive to each field the admin add? how to make it able to add 
   every new field automatically? I though there might be a loop which loops through
   these meta data and echo them out automatically without having to declare each
   one of them, it is possible?
