Just started...my journal is doing fine EXCEPT when I want to enter portion size...Can't figure out how to enter that I elected to eat only HALF cup of an item...program keeps insisting that I ate the 1 cup portion when I enter save...HELP!!!! Also when I elect only 2 oz of an item...smaller than usual portion???how would I enter that?
Thankx much. BrendaLoubb

Hi

A cup is 8oz.

If you eat half, change the 1 cup to .5 If you eat a fourth of a cup, you can either put .25 or 2 oz. 3/4th of a cup is .75 or 6 oz.

Hope that helps.

If I want to enter half a cup of something I type .5 in the box, and leave the unit at "cup". If I only ate 2 oz of something then I type 2 in the box, and scroll down and select "oz" for the units. HTH.

Thanks for the helpful replies...I understand now...I am entering by ounces rather than partial cups...Thanks so much for the guidance! BrendaLoubb
