New Recipe in Grammes

chrispetban

Hi,

I created a new recipe 'Cocoa Powder & apple compote‘ on MyFitness Pal & it is now available on MFP in ‘Serving’. How can I get it in grammes, like the example below?

Many thanks in advance

If you want your recipes to have servings in grams, you'd need to weigh the finished recipe to find out how many grams it is in total, then tell MFP it has that many servings of 1 gram.

MFP can't know how many grams a finished recipe weighs unless we tell it: Even if we tell it the weight of each ingredient, most recipes are cooked, so they either lose weight by evaporating water (baking, roasting) or gaining weight by absorbing water (poaching, boiling). MFP has no way of knowing whether the recipe was cooked or not.

If you make something, weigh it, and put a large number of grams into the number of servings, MFP will give you a sort of warning message. I don't remember the exact text, but it amounts to "are you sure it has that many servings". If you just continue and add it with the large number of servings, MFP will let you do that.
