How do I change cups to grams?

jessicametheringham

Could someone help? I've just downloaded the app on my iPad. I use grams for everything. I've tried entering food with grams, and it doesn't accept it - it says "please use a serving size, such as cups". It's on my iPad, so I can't scan anything. It doesn't accept 500g, or 500 g, or 500grams, or 500 grams. Any help? There must be somewhere in settings I can change the default serving size to grams. (Or kg, just not cups.) Thanks!

Database entries are user entered and some will have been set up in Cups only because that's the way that person has entered it, search for the item by name and you will usually get more than one option come up, look for one that has 1g or 100g options, if you can't find one add your own from My Foods, you just need to type "xg" in the serving size field according to whatever the nutritional information on the label says and enter all the nutritional information and how many servings there are.
