I've just started weighing food this morning and went to log in my banana. It was 125g but all I can find is 136g roughly that they already have. How do I manually put my own grams in? Or is that not possible thanks

    Good morning Lynsey, most products have different 'units' on a drop down list if you click on the little down arrow. There should be more choices such as 1 banana, 100g, etc. Choose the 100g and have 1.25 portions. If your product 'banana' doesn't a gram option just look for another one that does (I have one but I don't know how to send it to you - sorry!).

    You’ll have to choose the 100g or 1g option and either put 1.25 or 125. Or you could use the 136g option by dividing 125/136 and putting your serving size in as .92. Sometimes you’ll have to use ml or oz instead for more exact inputs.

    why would you use a liquid measurement for a banana?

    Gram is a weight measurement - mL is liquid ❤️
