I have been working for 2 hrs trying to enter a new recipe. I have to go in and edit ingredients as MFP picked the wrong amount so I try to edit and it won't let me change. Ex: I put in 2tb flaxseed oil and MFP put 1C....I go in to edit and it won't change!! I deleted ingredient and tried to re enter and it still won't take amount.....

    Are you clicking Save at the top? I had trouble with this too, but on the PC there's a box that appears from the top with Save or Save and Log.

    Try using .125 of a cup? Or something like that. I find when MFP only offers a large measure I can use decimals and it will take it. I hope this helps.

    I've found the recipe editor really doesn't work on apps. It should work on the website though.
