Fractions vs Decimals

bmeadows380

I prefer the decimals myself. Some of these entries are off a little, so I can adjust to get the right amount just by moving up or down a few 10ths of a decimal. And in my recipes I weigh out my onions, etc, and need the decimal values to match.

In fact, I gave the Lose It app a try and that's the main reason I left it and will stick to MFP - it has no option for decimals, only fractions.

Seriously annoying! Glad I'm not the only one tired of having to flip it to fractions every stinking time. Fix it MFP!

Me too!!! I use both, but mostly fractions. I like my default, as it’s always been, to remember my last used (which is 95% of the time fractions). I can track things quicker with the sliders instead of typing.

Quite frankly, most of the comments on this thread are RIDICULOUS. The author and a couple other folks like me are clearly asking for a bug to be fixed back so we can enjoy the way it used to be. We did not solicit advice about how to do decimal math. 🙄

Some people like fractions. Some like decimals. To each’s own! 😎

So ridiculous to try and help people with a work-around until the bug is fixed which, you know, could be never.

On the single serving food item I measure it raw. For instance my meatballs are always 37 grams each. Do not ask me how it ended up at 37. I really do not remember.

1 and 305/1000 of an oz?

I wished I looked at this forum and saved myself the aggravation and disappointment. I thought it was just me that my fraction default went away! The main issue with decimal is that the serving size defaults to 1 and you have do a few more clicks to get the size you want. Fraction-just scroll. Decimal-back space, hit dot, hit 3 numbers then enter. Yes it’s only a few seconds longer but a complete waste of my time. Fraction default is a must have feature. The decimal option is nice to have when I need to be precise.
