So if I'm making my own recipe..say tuna egg salad and measuring everything as I put it together, how do I determine how many servings there are?? Do I just divide it up into serving sizes and weigh it?

I weigh it and put it as 1 serving, and when I go to log it, I weigh what I've taken, and figure out that as a fraction. (Ex: Last night I made a pasta sauce, it came up as 999 grams, so I took quarter of that and logged it as 1/4 of 1 serving. If I ate double tomorrow, I'd log it at 1/2 of a serving). You'll need a calculator if you take a weird amount, but I try to take an even amount so it's easier to figure out lol.0

Depends on what it is and how accurate it needs to be. For soups I measured my ladel and then counted the number of scoops I could take out of the pot. For something like your tuna, I might look to the serving size on the container. If one container is four servings, then I would quarter whatever I made from it and go.
I always put the serving size in the recipie title so I don't forget.0
