I’m trying to figure out the recipes if they are for example serves 4 but when it logs it says 1 serving. How do you know? By weight?

    Based on the calories/nutrition, it looks as if it logs one serving of the 4 in the recipe, unless we change the serving count to 1.5 or 0.5 or 2 or whatever.

    Sorry this going to sound silly but I guess I need to ask the question better so rather: how does one figure out the weight for one serving? Make a pot and divide by 4 to acquire 4 servings?

    Yes. Anything cooked loses or gains varying amounts of weight while cooking (water absorbed or released) so the only way to know the total weight is to weigh the finished product.

    This is my question too. Sorry if this was answered as I’m new. If I look at a recipe it gives the nutritional information for one serving then will say, for example, entire recipe serves 4. I get that part, but I don’t see where it says what one serving actually is (like a serving is 1 cup or 50g etc…). Or do I just make my best guess based on how many servings it makes? Sorry this is so long but thanks for any help!

    Edit: Nevermind I see the answer above :)
