I am new to the food log and I want to add things like half cup or a cup or tbs or tsp. but I keep getting 180 grams almost all the items I bring up r n grams!!!!
Pls someone help me. It's very time consuming to keep converting. I see others logs and they have cups n such. Help.

  • There is a spot when you look for a food that says add new item to database. I have that problem to when it comes putting things into the system here. I use cups ounces and such. If you have a smartphone then scan the barcode and add it that way or create a new item and input all the stuff that way. Honestly scanning is much easier but I have added things the other way. Once you add it its in database for future use. Hope this helps!

    I don't have the scan option. I'm not in the USA and it doesn't work here. In there a way to not scan and somewhere in settings go and change measurements? I'm searching but can't find.

    Just keep looking through the options list until you find one with the servings that you want.
