When recording the food that you ate for breakfast, lunch, etc. I'm getting lost when I have to set the servings and the toppings on the food. What I do? Help please

If you don't have a scale for food your best bet is to get one. To be the most accurate you'll need to weigh or measure what you are eating. For example, a bowl of cereal could be 30 g for 130 calories. You would weigh out 30 g and log it in your diary.

Weighing dry food is more accurate than using measuring cups.

It may seem like a hassle to weigh everything, but once you start doing it, it just becomes habit. It really just takes an extra second or two.

How much do the scales run.

Mine doesn't run at all.... My dislike of cardio must have rubbed off on it.

I don't know where you're located, but here in the US I've seen food scales as cheap as $10 on eBay or up to $35-$50 for really fancy models. You don't need anything fancy. Just a digital scale with a tare function that can handle grams and ounces.

Yeah you have to weigh your toppings, no other way to be completely sure what your serving is. For example, I used a cheese tonight that was 80 calories for a serving, with 28 grams in a serving. If I wanted a full serving I would weigh out 28g, but I could also log as many as I want if I don't have room for the whole serving. Etc.
