Question about logging food

I am starting to be more diligent about weighing and logging my food intake, so I have some questions. Is there a way to edit an existing entry in the food database to show the calories in one gram of the food? For example, I had 12g of peanut butter this morning and the entries I saw have the weight of a 2 tablespoon serving which is 38g. Can I edit an entry to show 1 gram and then I can put in 12 as the number of servings? Of course, I can always do the 12/28g = .428 rounded to .43.
Just wondering. Would like to make this a little easier if possible. Also, is there a good thread about weighing food?

Some listings have the increment as 100g and that's easier to adjust. Putting in .12 servings for 12g. But mainly I've seen this on fruits, veggies.
You could create your own listings in this manner - a little work at first. Instead I tend to use the same amount. Such as my PB&J sandwiches are typically 24g-26g. I put on more or scrape some off as needed. I pull up my last used listing which is for 26g (entered as a fraction of 1 serving) and all is well.0 -
