I like the feature that allows us to make a recipe, but I hate having to measure things like the amount of vegetables in my vegetable soup because I don't make it the same every time. Anyone else having this issue?

    The "issue" of some kind of accuracy in measuring is key to any calorie counting plan.

    I use the recipe builder all the time... in your case, I would suggest that you edit the recipe as you prepare it and make any changes to the amounts.

    Editing I can handle. It just seems strange to be measuring things like the amount of celery in the souo when the calorie difference is negligible. Meat, legumes, and potatoes I would obviously measure out each time.

    If you've determined it is negligible, then why is this an issue for you?

    When counting calories, you don't "have" to do anything you don't want to do. The log is just a tool, how accurate you want it to be is completely up to you. If you want to be less accurate on the things you've decided are negligible, that's nobody else's business.
