How to change the serving size when I lookup an item?

[Anonomous]

How do you add custom serving sizes? I went to add a Hartee's Spicy Chicken Sandwich and it only lists 1 oz, 1lb, 1 gram and 1 kg. Who eats 1 gram of a sandwich or 1kg (2.2 pounds)? I ate one sandwich, so how do I enter it? Also, most lookup items only have a selection for xxx, how do I chane it to a bigger value? When I type the bigger number nothing appears in the drop down box and enering the value I need is automatically cleared.

Thx

Welcome to the Forums @Anonomous! 

Whenever you look a food up, you are able to edit the amount of that food on the 'How Much?' space. That should let you enter the desired quantity and it would bring up a menu with different measurements.

I hope you find this useful! Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks for the quick reply. It is nice to know that I can chage it but I don`t know how. Would you please use the Hartee`s Spicy Chicken Sandwich as an example for 1 item poviding the steps and some screen shots?

Hey @Anonomous! 

Let me help you with that.

Basically, you go into the food log section of your Dashboard and then follow these steps:

1. Enter the desired food and select it.

2. The number that shows up there on the 'serving' side is the actual serving size of that item.

3. Edit the amount as desired and then clock on Log Food.

I hope this clarifies the situation.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
