Food and quantity matching for recipe creation or imports wildly off

epresco2

I use the recipe import and creation function regularly. And every time I input ingredients there are many - and many very silly - matching errors. This means every time i have to not just modify the quantity or units, but almost always I need to search and reselect the ingredient. Here are some examples - both of these happen every single time I have "egg" or "scallion" in any quantity.

1 egg - matches as "1 cup egg" with no ability to change amount.

1 scallion - matches to "1 kg scallions" with no ability to change amount

I see this more often than not in ingredient matching - is there a place to report or should I add to this thread?

Try entering it with the size i.e. large egg. You then get options for different large eggs beginning with plain large egg. I just checked now because the 1 cup egg is so weird. I'll have to keep playing around and see if it works with other foods. It's so irritating when you just want to log as quickly as possible.

if you eat a certain food often or the same meal often you can save it in the MFP phone app as one of My Meals and just log it from there. Any recipe you have put in can be accessed by hitting My Recipes in the ohone app. When you hit the button to log food both of those options are in the top section of choices on your phone app.
