ingredient measurements

drandolph

I have a recipe that calls for 1 cup of an item. The only option when entering the item is tbsp, gms or oz. I can do the calculation and enter in 4x2tbsp as serving size but then that shows in te recipe. How can change the serving of the ingredient to actually show it is a cup not 8tbsp (1 serving is 2 tbsp)

Hi @drandolph, Select the food and then select the settings icon in the top right corner. Then select "Edit a copy". Then you can add your own serving size. You will still have to do the math to figure out the equivalent grams but you can change the serving to read "1 Cup" instead of the awkward Tbsp amount.

Hi @drandolph,

If you have a kitchen scale, you can also measure how much a cup of your product weighs, and enter the amount in grams. Weighing your food is the most precise way of tracking your nutrient intake.
