    0.5.

    What I've been doing if there's a recommended serving lets say potato chips, cause that's what I'm eating atm. Serving on the label and MFP is 21 chips, I only eat 13. So to adjust calories and macros I divide my serving by the suggested one on MFP or food label. Works also if you are going over the serving .

    .5 in the serving box rather than 1 for 1 cup

    Helpful fraction to decimal conversions:

    1/4 = 0.25
    1/2 = 0.5
    3/4 = 0.75

    1/3 = 0.333
    2/3 = 0.667

    1/8 = 0.125
    2/8 = 1/4 = 0.25
    3/8 = 0.375
    4/8 = 1/2 = 0.5
    5/8 = 0.625
    6/8 = 3/4 = 0.75
    7/8 = 0.875
