Ability to add cooked weight to recipe

When creating a recipe, the final weight is determined by the ingredients. However, most of the time there is a significant difference in final weight once cooked, and so the serving size becomes useless. It would be significantly more useful if the user could input and base serving sizes off of final cooked weight for the recipe.

  • Workarounds:

    Make a recipe with a "gram" serving (spelled out to avoid confusion with the calculated weight). The cooked weight is the number of servings the recipe makes (does not need to be a whole number). This only works with serving based receipes.

    Use a custom food (I have one for pure water and another with no nutrients listed at all). Enter a negative amount of this food as an ingredient to adjust for weight lost during cooking.
