Almost impossible to put in my own recipes

There are not enough choices for the amounts, eg my cake recipe calls for 3 eggs and I have to enter it 3 times or I have a choice of 12 eggs! Flour amounts were 1c or 1T or the metric system and I had to add 2 1/2 cups. You really can't input a total recipe because it doesn't recognize a lot of spices, eg. vanilla extract. If you can't input the entire recipe and directions - why share it with the other members. I'm a type 1 diabetic and have a lot of low carb recipes that I've made up, but until this problem is corrected, I can't share them.

    That doesn't make sense. You can change the serving size or the number of servings.

    This. In the recipe builder there is an "edit" button where you can change the quantity or another where you can search for a replacement item.

    I don't have this issue. I enter my recipes on the web site not the app though. Try that.

    But you can type in serving size of 3 - one eggs... and have 3 eggs. The program isn't going to list 1 egg, 2 eggs, 3 eggs, 18 eggs, 100 eggs and everything in between..?

    If you had to add 2 1/2 cup flour then you chose the 1c entry and enter serving as 2.5.

    You're welcome.
