Hey I was going to go put like my recipies like for instance from other web sites like weightwatchers and when it ask for add ingredients for instance it will say 1/4 cup of something well anyway I was finding it in the database and then it would go over and ask how much.. And I could not find the the little slot for the 1/4 cup it just had like 1.0 servings or something unheard of... I need some help with this matter or its not gonna help me....

    You should be able to adjust the number of servings. Does your item package tell you how many servings 1/4 cup is?

    if the 1 serving is a cup - then a 1/4 cup - you would enter in as .25 - almost all the entries are listed as 1 serving - so if you dont have the full serving you need to put in decimals - like .50 - or .75 etc.. - hope thats what u meant - lol - good luck -

    If the ingredient is in the database more than once, then try the other choices.
    For instance, you could find an entry of "Hummus, 1 serving". That doesn't mean much now, does it?
    In another entry, you could have the choice of "Hummus" in a portion of 2 tbsp or 30g. That makes more sense.
    It's usually what I do... I pick an entry that has the kind of measurement I like and it's even better if it has a few confirmations that the nutritional facts are right.

    I hope you figure it out. Do not hesitate to message me if you need more help.
