Entering in meals correctly

I’m having issues with entering my meals correctly & then adding them to my diary in the correct serving size. I just add in the total of each item when creating my meal but it is stressing me out trying to select the correct serving and log it that way. Is there a way to create a meal also where it will just add the name of the meal to the log instead of each individual item?

First question: the solution is to weigh your finished dish and then weigh your portion.
If you ate 300 grams and your total finished meal weighed 1000gr, you log 0.3 of your meal in your diary.
For the second question: use the recipe builder instead of the Meals functionality should solve that issue (it enters 1 line in your diary) but I find the recipe builder too much of a hassle myself.0
