food database queston

Hi - I am all new to this - day 3 as a matter of fact. I have a question that I can not figure out. I had slivered almonds on my oatmeal this morning, and yes - they are in the list, but I did not eat anywhere near a 1/4 cup, I had less than an 1/8th of a cup. How can you adjust the amount? I understand it should be about 85 calories, not 170, but I dont know how to fix it? Sure - I can fix it in my head - but there should be some way to make it right. When I went to add it in the database, they told me it was a duplicate. Any advise?

Change your serving size. So if serving size was 1/4 cup normally but you only had half of that then you put .5 in the serving size.

just enter .5 or .25 of a serving. thats what i do

You can put in that you had .5 of a serving. Or .25, etc...

I even put in .33 for 1/8 of a cup and .66 for 2/3 of a cup.
