Hi all,
when entering the portion size for a custom food, the nutrients are then automatically converted to 100 grams in the Food List.
Is there a way to have the value for the custom portion in the database?
Example, to clarify: I usually buy ham in small 80 grams packages, and that's what I normally I eat, so that's my reference unit, I'm not interested in having the nutrients for 100 grams.
TY

Next to the 100 gram size box it says custom size. Go there and enter your amt. I do it all the time.

As I said, that's what I did, but then when I look at the food list, the values are converted to 100 grams...

Did you use the drop down list for amts.?

On the New Custom Food entry page, click on the words Custom Size, which you'll see just to the right of where you enter the serving size. That will allow you to work with amounts other than 100 grams.

To correct any Custom Food entries you have already made, click on your Custom Food, then click the box marked "Customize." You'll see that box if you look straight below the bolded word "Serving" on a Custom Food entry you previously made. When you have corrected your entry, scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and click "Replace Custom Food." If you prefer, of course, you can click the other box, "Add as new Custom Item." That will add your corrected entry as a second listing of the Custom Food. The food will be shown twice on your list.

HTH!

Again... I've done all that. But when I open the Food List, the nutritional values are for 100 grams. If I try to correct the entry and click on Customize, the correct values and weight reappear.
Saving it again with "Replace Custom Food" or "Add as new Custom Item" doesn't make any difference, info is calculated on 100 grams all over again when opening the Food List.
I'm wondering is it a bug, or maybe it's just the way it is and I'm trying to do something that cannot be done.
I'm trying to upload screenshots to see if that helps understand what I mean.



Edit: I'm afraid it's just the way it is. I checked in Settings, and there's no tweaking the "Food listing portion Options" the way I'd like to.

Aha! perfect. Now my inner perfectionist is happy.

Thanks again!

It's been awhile since I entered a Custom Food. If the instructions above revert to 100 grams for you, go in and edit your Custom item by clicking the "Customize" button. Then, instead of something like 50 grams, enter a decimal fraction of 100 grams, such as .50 or .33 or whatever is appropriate. I don't remember exactly how the software reads those entries anymore to create a custom serving size.

You may have to correct all the numbers for fat/protein/carbs/calories as well to get them back to what is right for the serving you want to have show on your list. When you're done, scroll down to the bottom and click "Replace Custom Food" ... or whatever it is that box says. You want to use Replace, though.
