Setting measurements for recipes
Options

hello, I noticed that when I create a recipe it only allows me to select serving for measurement. Is there a way to add other measurements to this? Like tablespoons, cups, etc like for other ingredients? I feel like that would track the calories better than a flat serving size that isn’t specified.
Thank you!!

You can put your unit of measurement as the serving size. Most people weigh the final product (less cooking dish) and use the number of grams as the number of servings. Then when you weigh your portion, that weight is the number of servings you enter in the diary.
