Why is it not possible to change the amount?
Hi,
i want to use fitday to count my calories and control my diet habits. Now i wonder why I can't change the amount if I click on "Create a Custom Food". I want to change the amount eg in 100ml. Is there a way to do that? Sorry for my worse english. I'm from German
greetings,
Shitti

I include the amount of the serving in the description of the food. You can make 100 mL of your custom food the serving size, and if you eat more or less of that serving, adjust it. For example, if you eat 150 mL of that food, it's 1.5 servings, 75 mL is .75 of serving, etc.

Hi sakai,
thanks for your quick answer. Thats a good idea, but i watched a video on youtube in which it seems as that there is a better/ more comfortable way. At minute 1.30 in this video the youtuber chooses a food and the amount. At minute 3.. he chooses the amount of an scrambled egg. I can't imagine that it isn't possible to add eg various amounts to a product or say eg the serving size of my favorite yoghurt is 150gr and if i choose 100gr the website calculates the values for 100gr of this yoghurt. I hope i could explain what i am meaning et least a bit.

When you first create the item, it is put as one serving. However, once you go to edit the item's data, you should be able to edit the item amount. Although not to ml. I'm still trying to get my head around what a fl oz looks like
