im making a pie tonight on husbands request, but I'm unsure about how to log it. Do I just log the weight of the pastry when finished or log the ingredients separately?

    Weigh and log each ingredient and put it in the recipe builder. That way you can save if for when you make it again. If you want to be really accurate with your servings, add up the calories for the whole thing, then weigh the whole pie when it's done, then weigh your portion to figure out how many calories are in the slice.

    this but weight your tin first so you can remove it from total weight and figure out how many calories are in each 100g and make that a serving - then you can have adjustable serving sizes
