Good morning all. I just got this app and I'm trying to find the nutrition face son a oatmeal cookie I made and I can't enter the amount of ingredients I used for recipe. I gives me the values per serving not what it's added. Thanks in advance

    Add the whole recipe under the "Recipies" tab, then add how many servings the recipe makes. It will give you the amount of calories per cookie.

    What Paiger816 said, but also from the OP it sounds like you don't understand that you can change the quantity of food when you log it -- you don't always have to eat and log exactly one serving, based on whatever the default serving size of the entry is. For example, if you wanted to enter 1/4 cup oats, and the database entry you wanted to use said that a serving size was 1/2 cup oats, you could just change the 1 in the serving size field to 0.5.

    Also, although my example was in cups (volume), it's best to get a food scale and use grams (weight) to measure your solids, if possible.
