How do I bypass the amount consumed if they don't have what I ate? For example for dinner I ate 1/2 cup brown rice and they only give you two choices, 1 cup or 8 cups.

    you can adjust the portion 1/2 of a 1 cup serving

    I tried that but it still added the calories as a 1 cup serving. Hmm...I will have to try it again and see if I am not doing something right. Thanks!!

    Put in .5 and it will adjust your serving calories.

    when it comes up it usually displays >>>> 1.0----= 1 cup
    what you would do is type in >>>>>>>>>>.50----=1 cup (which is 1/2 cup)
    >>>>>>>>>>.25
    = 1 cup ( which is 1/4 cup)
