Another tool I have started building is this index card bundle where I make a card every time I weigh and count a favorite snack (like Beanitos <3 ) so I don’t have to repeat the process. I do most things on my desktop computers or iPad, but I like this physical tool.

@kimny72 I like your second suggestion, thanks. First method, I guarantee I would dribble/splatter the olive dressing all over the scale :p @French_Peasant You hurt my scale’s feelings. I like my scale. What I *really* need to do is get all the crap off the counter that I don’t use every day but am too lazy to climb up and…

Correct and thanks for providing that clarification to anyone who may need it. ;) The olive “bar” is not literally a bar. Cannot pay on the spot and stores would not be happy with me if I ate them before paying for them. Though I confess I do occasionally sneak one to see if I like the dressing because they’re too damn…

I feel it’s a lot easier to fill one of the volume measures I have hanging on the knob of a kitchen cabinet, say 1/3 or 1/2 cup, with the olives and then transfer them to a plate or board or whatever (or just eat them from the measuring cup) than to get my scale out, tare the container, wash the container, etc. (I don’t…

Thanks! Sorry I missed the notification for your reply until now. I do have a few recipes stashed from my first crack at this three years ago. More recipes than meals actually. I can’t see any difference between those two options in the iOS app but I do need to try to implement them more so will go to Recipes first.…

I assume it will get easier as I use it more, and with more skill. For example I need to create a few more "meals" that can be added in one click. It also helped when I went back to the Web site and realized it was easier/faster to consult the database that way than via the iOS app. I do love the app's ability to read bar…
