How to change ingredients in recipe builder?

Even though I first go to the food database to get the actual description of the particular items I want to use, the recipe builder chooses different ones. When I try to change the ingredient, it gets stuck on the portion size window and doesn't accept my selection. I thought I had outwitted it by putting in the exact name. I am using an iPad. How can I get the exact database listing I want? TIA.

    I use the Old Recipe Calculator to the right on the web version and it finds more correct matches than the Recipe Builder. The Old Recipe Calculator uses the same index and search algorithm that the one for the Food Diary uses. The only problem is that you can create a recipe using the Old Recipe Calculator, but once saved, you have to edit it using the newer Recipe Builder. If I make a mistake, I will just delete and start over again, because I despise the Recipe Builder.

    The Recipe Builder is inferior in every way.
