Recipe question...

TashaaaKayeee

So I'm a little confused on here when manually putting in your own recipe.

I made these muffins & it asked "how many people does it serve?"
So I put 12 since it made 12 muffins. But when I eat just 1 how do I calculate that I'm eating 1 & not the 12?
Someone told me to put the decimal 1/12 cause you're eating 1 out of 12 but I feel like that's not right.
Can someone help?

Why don't you add the ingredients separately then divided it by 12 to get one. Not a bakers dozen I might add.

If you put in that it serves twelve, you just log 1 muffin if you're eating 1 muffin. It will calculate the calories per serving for you.

You already input that it's 12 servings. So when you log "1 serving" it's already giving you the nutritional value of 1/12 of the entire recipe. (Also the decimal of one twelfth (1/12) is .0833, not .12)

Yes, if you put it in as 12 servings, you are eating 1, just put 1. That's why the recipe builder is great, it does everything else for you.
