I just wanted to know how to use the tracker if you are looking something up and it has serving size or the whole container what if I only eat 1 thing out of a package? Like for instance I have a package of Austin Vanilla Cremes and I have one left and when I search it, It only brings the package up so how would I track that kind of thing? Also this morning I had a 1/2 cup of coffee and it only brings up a cup just wanted to know how to do that? Aslo I drink bottle water since we have hard water how do you track the glasses of water by OZ? Thank you so much. Kari

    Hi Kari,

    In the case of these Austin vanilla creme things (sorry from the UK and never heard of these!! LOL), if you can only find it as 1 package, take how many servings/items there are in the pack and divide 1 by that and then multiply it by how many you've had.

    For example if there are 5 servings/items in a package and you eat 4 it will be 1 / 5 (0.2) x 4 (the number of servings/items consumed) = 0.8. So that's what you'd enter in MF!

    Hope this helps!
