Creating a meal
I made a large pot of casserole. I added in everything that went into the whole pot. This pot of casserole has approximately 6 servings. How can I tell the app that. If I change the servings to 6, it just multiples everything I've already added by 6.
This is so frustrating.

    There should be a setting in the recipe tab that asks for how many servings the recipe makes

    If you didn't use the recipe builder and have just added it into the diary, just save it as a meal and then you'll be able to add it from Meals when you eat it again.

    If you're using the recipe builder just edit the servings number.

    Weigh out the entire serving in grams or oz (preferably grams) and enter that number as the serving number. This way you can be accurate with your actual serving.

    Sounds like you entered the ingredients into your diary, to build a recipe go to recipes - create recipe- and build it in there.
