    If you enter the weight of the dish as the number of portions, that might help you?

    Here’s my workaround:
    The recipe is 1 portion.
    The total weight of the dish is in the title of the recipe for easy reference.
    My serving is weight of what I eat divided by total weight.

    For example: Recipe weighs 500g. My portion weighs 100g. 100/500 = .2, so that’s what I enter for my meal.

    Because recipes list ingredients with various types of measurements (weight, volume, and so on) there is no way for the recipe editor to calculate how many servings of a particular size will result when the various items are combined. I'm afraid this hasn't changed due to any recent updates.

    If you're not sure how many servings a recipe will produce, enter a best-guess number when you first create the recipe.

    After the recipe is prepared, you can manually measure the number of servings that have been produced. Then, the recipe can be edited and the correct number of servings can be entered like how @bethteixeir9229 suggested.

    We would also recommend then putting in the actual serving amount in the title of the recipe to then remember how much each serving weighs.
