How to add a recipe if the weight options aren't listed

Hello! I'm new to this!
Trying to add my recipe for Blueberry Pancakes. The weight options for e.g. 1 tblspn of ground flaxseed is either 1gram or 100g. How do I add my own weight option? Also if I need to add 2/3 cup for an ingredient but the options it gives are either 1 cup of 100g what do I do??????? Thankyou.

So if you weight it out to say 54 grams then in Number of Servings you add 0.54. If you use a 1g entry you enter 54 servings. You can also enter fractions, like 2/3 cup. Or 0.66 cups in decimals. Weighing in grams is always more precise though.

Double click the portion amount to type over it to adjust it.

There should also be a dropdown box to convert from metric to imperial and vice versa.

I find metric to be way more accurate and, even as a child of the 60’s who fought it for decades, now look for entries that defaults to metric as the initial option.

I find that sometimes the quantity drop down box bugs out if I change type of measurement.

I haven’t used a measuring cup in years, til this week, when I needed to make some cornbread super fast and didn’t have time to convert the recipe on the bag. I wasn’t going to eat any myself, so I didn’t care.

If the recipe builder has given you a flaxseed entry that doesn't let you get the right quantity using the drop-down or decimal values as others describe above, you can edit the recipe and search for a substitute version of the flaxseed that does have the type of measurement you need in the serving size.
