Have MFP do the calculations from serving size to what amount you use
This, imho, is where MFP fails epically. The user must calculate the amount take to coincide with the serving size that is labeled on the product. I am more than willing to put that data in, but what I want is when I serve my portion, I put in the amount I serve. For example, serving size of Thai's unsweetened coconut milk…

My target is 52g of fat a day, but I’m always above that because I have olive oil, nuts, and peanut butter every day. If I eat meat it’s lean (chicken breast, tenderloin). I do meet my protein target, but I’m above my fat target and always below carbs target.

Everything I've seen says I can track more than 5 nutrients in MFP and, sure, I can see more than 5 when I click on Nutrients but, when I go to change which ones I'm tracking, I only see 5 drop down menus. Bottom line, is there a way to track more than that? Moreover, is there a way to add foods with more than that? The…

Which foods are worth buying organic vs. which does it not really make a difference, and why?
