So basically, when I log 1.6 units of something in 100g I get 1.6000000003451 or something like this. That's very useful. Logging on 0.5 or 1 still get just no or one decimal. Very useful indeed. Anyone else notice this? I found this in both the iOS app and web environment.

    Yeah, it's doing it with mine too. That doesn't really bother me.

    It does bother me that all the personal stuff (home, food, etc,) is oriented all the way to the far left on the page.

    Yikes, it is!
    the numbers bother me because I often roughly prelog what I'll cook and then add the correct weight measurements. Or I cook 2 servings of a one-off meal and then divide the ingredients by half for the day.

    This is happening to me to, but with all those zeros before you get to non-zero figures, any additional calories or other nutrients are insignificant. It doesn't really bother me, although I will admit I delete the extra decimal places when they catch my eye.
