Change own meals and recipe portions to weight instead of servings

After I put a meal or recipe together the only option I have to figure out how much is in each serving is to put .25 serving size and divide the meal into 4 portions, I'd rather be able to just weigh the combined ingredients/meal as a whole in grams or Oz and have it calculate the calories from weight to be more accurate

    When you initially input your recipe into the Recipe maker, use the total weight of the finished product as the Servings box, i.e. 1500grams. Then when you eat some of it, weigh out your portion and enter the amount of grams into the servings on the logging box where it says, "servings," - so, something like 85grams.

    You can also edit the main Servings even after you've input it, so you can change them…but obviously it's best to do it when you first make the dish.
