Adjusting recipes after saving them

I added a recipe and ended up with more servings then what recipe listed, because I cut smaller portions. Now I can't figure out how to change the # of servings, so that calories commute correctly? Thanks so much!

    You can edit it, save it and then if you have already put it in your diary, you have to delete it from there, and re-add it.
  • When I click on the recipe it shows only the nutritional facts not the recipe with total cals and # of servings so I can edit servings.

    to the left of the nutritional info box, it should show "Edit Recipe" just click and change what you need to and resave it

    Are you using the app? When you click edit it shows you the cals per serving & number of servings at the bottom of the screen, it doesn't look like it but you can tap that, and it will allow you to adjust the servings.

    *Edited to add: You will have to re-add it to your diary like @kathyk519 said.

    Depending on what you are using, app vs. website.
    On the web click
    -Food
    -Recipes
    Click on the Name of the Recipe
    Click on Edit Recipe
    This will let you change the servings, add/remove ingredients, etc.
