More serving size units

Hello, I recently switched from a competing app and 1 thing I miss about the other app is that they had a bunch of arcing size unit options. For example I’m trying to log some milk and there is no ml option and it is a little inconvenient to measure the ml every time and convert it into cups.

    additionally There should be options for grams rather than volume

    Just search for a different food database entry with the units you want. For milk I'm guessing there are dozens, if not hundreds to choose from.

    As Lietchi says, they exist for many foods. Here is an example, below. Milliliters are on the drop-down list, and so are grams . . . but the list of possible serving-size options is too long to show both of those on one screen grab.

    If you're using the phone/tablet app, often they appear at the top of a search list, labelled as "Best Match", as shown below for milk. All of those "best match" milk entries have ml and g.
