Set default portion size to weight globally

Many of the foods have multiple options for portion size, be it cups, serving or whatever else as well as weight based portion sizes and the default selected seems to be determined by the food.
It would be better if I could pick a global preference and every food that has my preference of weight or "100 grams" would show information for that portion by default.
It would also save time when searaching for a matching food so I don't have to enter to the detailed nutrition information of the food to tell if a weight based portion size was even defined.
Should depend of course on the default unit selected, but it seems the app automatically converts grams and ounces.
