    Lol, or when people put in weird serving sizes (one slice, or a teaspoon for Greek yogurt)

    I die a little bit each time I see the 1 m&m entry...

    Its for the bites and nibbles people....I mean if you steal one of your kids M&Ms you totally log that **** don't you?

    I had to search for a while to find milk that was in ml and not grams, I mean, who weighs their milk?

    LOL. I DO! I put my cup on the scale, tare it, and add my milk or cream...or whatever non-water calorie filled fluid I drink. There are some pretty bizarre things in the database though. I suppose though, if you dont care about accuracy that using something like a "mashed potatoes with gravy" entry is fine if your only goal is portion control. I am always curious though as to how much of that cup serving is potato and how much is the gravy. :huh:

    But it's a pain having to put 0.125 servings of the 8 M&Ms standard serving size when I have my daily M&M before bedtime.
    MFP always creates additional serving sizes for 1 and for the entire package when an entry is added. If the serving size of a bag of jelly beans was 30 jelly beans and there are 5 servings per package, MFP will create serving sizes of 1 jelly bean and one package (150 jelly beans). There is no point in making a separate entry in the database for this.
