in Getting Started
Hi guys I have just downloaded this app and I am trying to get my head around it all. I just wanted to ask when I type in let’s say mayflower curry sauce powder it only comes up with the option of 100g but I would only be using 46grams I don’t know how to change it to that amount and the same goes to broccoli it only lets me pick a 100g for that can anyone help me please as really want to get started. Thank you so much, Claire xx

    You can change the number of servings to a decimal. So, .46 if it’s 46 out of 100 grams. For many foods you can also change the serving size to 1 gram, then you would enter 46 servings.

    Yes like rockmama said. There's a decimal right beside the gram amount and you change it that way. Example 100g broccoli and you only eat 50g just do 0.5 and it calculates it for you. I use it that way all the time for pretty much everything 😊

    As the others have said, you can enter the actual amount you eat. Tonight, I ate 1/2 cup of something but the only measurement offered by MFP was 1 cup. Easy to replace that with 0.5 cup and have a more accurate entry. Good luck!
