Correct way to enter a new recipe

I've entered a new recipe and set it at 4 servings. When I add that recipe to my diary and set the serving at 1 serving, it doesn't break the nutritional values down per serving but adds the entire recipes values (all 4 servings), which throws everything off. I adjusted it by entering a 1/4 serving instead, but I must be doing something wrong. Anyone?

I haven't had an issue with this on my end. I've entered several recipes and stated the amount of servings in the recipe and when I select it for my meal, it usually defaults to one serving - and only includes the calories of that one serving. I hope someone else can help you figure this out?1

Are you using the Save and Log button? If so, I think that has caused an issue in the past maybe the issue is back. Try saving the recipe first, then go to your Diary and add the now saved Recipe with the correct number of servings.1

It seems to work correctly on the computer version but not on the app. And it might have been the save and log thing! Seems ok now.0
