How do I log a multi-ingredient item? Specifically, I have a protein shake for breakfast and I add fruit (different every day), Green's Plus (or spinach or Swiss chard), flax seed, hemp hearts, yogurt.
Help?
Thanks

    Weigh out your separate ingredients and log them independently. Like my oatmeal I used to have. Just log them as such: 40g of oats, 30g of raspberries, 28g peanut butter, etc. Brand specific of course to get the proper nutritional values as well.

    If it's something like a smoothie or a meal I have a lot but it changes depending on banana size etc I don't use the recipe builder because I get fed up editing the weights.

    This is what I do in the app.

    First time log all items individually in your chosen field ie breakfast, then click on the 3 little dots at the bottom of the field and select "save meal" add a title "pre work out smoothie" then every time I want to use this just click add food, select my meals, " pre workout smoothie" and then the whole entry is filled in and easy to change the ingredients weights, or add things or subtract.

    I do this with most of my meals.
