    I don't know the answer to that but I find some of the measurements just too silly, so many things are impossible to measure properly. Who eats these strange amounts of food? .......answers on a postcard please!

    Did you try the drop down box to see if there is any other options. Or, this is what I do. If the only option is one cup I put .5 meaning half of a cup and it calculates it for me. Or, .25 for a 1/4 of a cup.

    Should be able to log a portion of it. If I have 3/4 of a serving, I just put in .75 servings. Etc.

    You can use the drag down bar and find other options for the amount you're eating or you can put in a fraction of a whole serving. for example, I always have 1 Tbs of peanut butter, but a serving is 2 Tbs. I just change the amount .5.

    I know you can change the amount that way but it still may not be the amount that YOU want. So many things drive me daft(er)

    I guess I wasn't sure you could do that! Good to know guys. I will be using the decimals now too b/c I had the same dilemma and I would just keep searching until I would just give up and put in the higher amount or do the quick cals.
