Can you imput weight amounts to foods for exact measurements? for example 2.8 ounce banana or 3.6 ounce restaurant tortilla chips.

    You can. I usually use grams instead of ounces because the USDA entries (the ones without the asterisks) always have a "100 grams" option. So if my peeled banana weighed 214 grams, for instance, I would enter it as 2.14 of 100 grams.

    Yes. I use grams though because it's more accurate. I also have my own custom entries for all foods I make so that I can have a 1g serving option. Then I'd put 120 in the serving box if it's a 120g banana.
