All of a sudden two days ago , my mfp is defaulting to decimals rather than fractions for servings. It’s very irksome, I hate decimals, does anyone else have this problem?

    I hate math
    I like decimals better...I feel they are more precise, and I'm slightly OCD

    I hate this - I wish there was an option in settings to default to one or the other!

    In the app when you go to add a quantity of food you can choose between fractions and decimals when the number pad appears. For all I know, once you've made a choice, that remains the default until you change it. At least that has been my experience.

    FWIW I've never understood why you would use fractions when decimals allow a much more granular measurement. But to each their own.

    Same here! Was always using fractions and now every entry defaults to decimal.

    Same here and same time as yours. It is driving me crazy!!! I want default fractions back!
