how to create reasonable serving size

lynne007

so many brands have nutritional information for crazy serving sizes - not based on what people really eat - or even what is in the container. example:

https://rhapsodynaturalfoods.com/our-products/organic-non-gmo-natto/
serving size = 1 oz. fine. but 3.5 servings per container. what if you eat 1/2? or 1/4?

or a candy bar has 16 little squares - and the serving size is 1/3 bar. gahhh.

they make the serving size so it is an attractive fat or calorie amount - and many times it is not easy to figure out what you are really eating.

Is there a way to create a new serving size based on the existing serving size? and how do I do that?

Oooh yes, I know what you mean! Entering in a different serving size than the one on the package usually involves some mental math.

If you have a kitchen scale available you could weigh your serving instead. Choose the 'g' serving size then enter in the weight you measured.

For items that you eat often, you can edit a food to add additional serving sizes.

If you would like to change the serving size of a food that is already in our database, follow these steps:

On the website:

Go to the Foods tab
Go to the Search Foods sub-tab
Search for the Food you wish to edit and select it to open it in the Food Editor
Select the icon in the top right-hand corner
Choose Edit a Copy, from there you can make changes to your recipe and then Save Changes
This food will now be in your custom foods list

In the Mobile app:

Open the bottom console (orange +)
Tap Add Food
Search for the food you wish to edit
Tap on the food to open the Edit Serving Dialog
Tap the menu in the right-hand corner
Choose Edit a Copy
Tap the Next arrow in the upper right-hand corner to Save your food
This food will now be in your custom foods list

I think, that my like / dislike doesnt work. Because i did it and the food i liked and disliked is not rated next time i try to find food at all. Where is the problem?
