Weight Per Serving for Imported Recipe
Once a recipe is imported, the macros are divided by servings, so I have to estimate my serving size to determine my macros. It would be nice if based on the ingredients in my recipe, I could still choose grams or other measures. This way I can cook my recipe, weight my portion, and input based on weight.

Do you put your weight in MFP every time you weigh yourself?
I weigh myself almost every day right before I take a shower in the morning. When I did WW I didn't put my weight in the app - I waited for the meeting. I've been hit or miss entering weights here but I'm thinking I'm going to go back to only entering once a week. What do you all do?

Everything should be able to be measured by weight.
I have a scale in my kitchen, and I use it to get a precise indication of my caloric intake. However, too many measure with "volume" like cups. Not everything can be measured accurately that way imho. Too much empty space with larger items measuring that way. Every cup will be different.

Fix the app for those doing Keto! Don't reset goals just to update weight
I tried to update my weight today. And it warned me that by changing my weight, I'd have my goals reset. Why would I need my macro levels reset just because I weigh less? I understand that calorie intake and grams will change. But why change my percentages?! Every time I weigh in I have to reset my macros?
