I joined My Fitness Pal on March 28, 2016, so I'm a Newbie

Hello everyone!

Ok, I just downloaded My Fitness Pal yesterday and today started out to put what I had for breakfast, which was 2 Eggo waffles which was the description. Then it shows Serving Size, so I put 2, then Servings Per Container, which I have no idea so I put 1. Then I get a message "Alert, Please enter the serving size of this food in a format such as 3 cups."

Well, waffles don't come in cups. I tried various serving sizes and servings per container, nothing worked. I had a hamburger this evening for dinner, again I couldn't get past the servings per container and serving size.

I came to the website trying to find help with this problem and so far have found nothing. Help!!!

I really prefer to track my foods/meals BEFORE I eat them. sort of plan a roadmap for my day. It doesn't do any good at the end of the day to put down what I've eaten, since I've already eaten the food, so if the calorie count adds up too high, it becomes an oops!

Also, I've been using Pacer Steps for about 3 weeks. I read where I can connect My Fitness Pal to Pacer Steps. When I tried doing that it comes up like I need to download and join Pacer Steps. Which I already have.

I'm hoping to find some answers to my problems.

Thank you.
