I created a meal that serves 4 and included total of each ingredient. Then I tried to add 1/4 of the meal as dinner. I thought it would add 1/4 of each ingredients but it added 100 percent. What may I have done wrong? Can this be done?

    I've had this happen once or twice - a glitch in my case. I just deleted the added foods and added the appropriate fraction of the meal again, and then it worked normally.
    If you have the issue systematically / several times in a row, it might be best to submit a request directly with MFP.

    you have to overwrite the quantity to the % you want and then scroll down a bit and hit the check mark to have it recalculate before saving.

    If you forget that step, it adds 100%.
