    Just click on the item, you will get a popup where you can change the amount.

    Yep. Half the grams (if you listed it in grams), or put in '0.5' instead of '1' (but seriously, you should be measuring in grams :wink: )

    Wait, what? This is what it should look like:

    ...and if you did that with a 'new' muffin, make sure you delete the entry for the whole muffin?
    If you open your diary, I'll have a quick look...?

    Hurray! :+1: Go you!
    For the record, it's even easier on mobile: just press and hold for a second on the entry you wish to delete and a pop-up will appear asking you if you want to delete the entry or move it. Naturally, you select delete :sunglasses:

    I input things in advance often (the night before, ususally), and then decide I am not in the mood for salmon at all and have to throw out the whole dinner dish and input something else. Half of my time logging is deleting and editing grams :lol:
