I’ve got a very newb question. If I have a liquid which is 400 calories/cup, and add another liquid that is 150 calories/cup, how do I determine how much per cup? Do I just average it out to 225?

    Can you measure and log them both separately before you mix them?

    How much of each liquid are you using?

    If you have one cup of each for two cups total you get 400 + 150 = 550.

    If is a half cup each for one cup of liquid you get 200 + 75 = 275 for one cup. If

    If you mix a cup of each, as in two cups, well and drink 1/4 cup of the mix you get 4/550 or 550 X 0.25 for 137.5.

    If logging them both separately is not practical ( i dont know, if you pre mix then drink a bit at a time?) - then just use the recipe builder (doesnt matter that it is only 2 ingredients) and then weigh/measure each serving when you have some.

    To make this easier, I would call it 1 serving = 100ml.

    Then if you have eg 50mls log it as half a serve, 200mls as 2 serves etc

    If you don't want to just add them as separate items, then you can use the "Quick Tools / Quick add calories" function right next to "Add food" on your FOOD page.
