Default Entering quantities not on the list

Hi, tonight I snacked on some dark bitter chocolate. I entered the data per 100 grams, but when I tried to enter the amount I actually ate, there was no option for that. The closest I could come was 1oz, but I really only ate two small squares, less than a half an ounce, I'm sure (they are quite small). Is there any way that I can calculate and enter that data? Even though I know I consumed fewer carbs than showed up on the chart, it's still disheartening to see a whopping 9 g listed for what I ate.

I'd appreciate any help you can give me on this.

Thanks!

Generally what I do when I have some custom quantity is just come up with some arbitrary quantity and put a little note in the title that this is the serving size to use. For instance--I eat Lindt 85% and firgured out a serving size is 2 squares (well what the hell is 2 squares??? how many onces?? grams???) I put in the serving size the 2 squares=100grams. That way you have a serving size. If you are I square than input--0.5 for serving of 100 grams. I mean you could play with whatever your comfortable with--I use that method alot--like for lo carb tortillas--I just cutomized it that 1 tortilla=1 once. It works for me. You purists....don't bash me
