I want to change the last four micronutrients from percentages to actual amounts. Is there a way to do this?

    The only way to do that is to create all of your own food entries for everything you eat and convert the percentages to actual amounts. (If you look, you may find some entries in the database that already list the raw amounts.) Even then, your diary will still say %, but you'll know it's really mg. If you do this, it would be kind (and smart) not to click the "share" box when you create them, so they doesn't clutter the database with entries that look wrong and so other people don't "correct" your entries.
