Display 'weight of food' on serving sizes

[marktama]

When viewing a food item, "serving size" and "calories" are displayed. It would be helpful if the weight/quantity of the serving is also included. For example, White Rice- common is 180 calories per serving. How many ounces or grams is one serving? If I ate 6 ounces of white rice, how many calories was that?

The Nutrition Facts need to indicate per serving or per unit of weight. Then, when someone opens the daily Nutrition Facts, each of the Foods ate that day need to be multiplied by the serving size for that day and then added together. It's simple math to code, not protected IP, and it would cause people to want to use your app rather than leave it.

Foods should indicate the weight of a serving in order to be accurate in terms of caloric intake. The fact that there is no relationship between measure and serving size makes the food analysis inaccurate and therefore useless. Perhaps this is a nitpick, but it should be a standard fact that is included in nutritional analysis.
