I find it very helpful to include the serving size in the title so I know what a serving is

example:
Triple chocolate cheesecake (serves 10)
or
Triple chocolate cheesecake (1 serving)
or
Triple chocolate cheesecake (serving=.10)

G,

Click the “Add a Food” button.
Click on the Food Groupings tab.
Click “Create a New Food Grouping.”
Click “Add a Food” to chose your first ingredient in the recipe.
Search for the ingredient you want and choose the closest match, along with the serving size.
Click “Add a Food” to add it to your new food grouping.
Do this for every ingredient in your recipe.
When your food grouping is complete, click “Finished,” then click “Next.”
Name your recipe and click “Save Food Grouping.”

You can add each ingredient as it appears in the recipe, or divide each by the number of servings. For example, if the recipe serves 4, you can divide each ingredient by 4. Then each time you add this food to your tracker, you would put in “1” as the serving size. If you add the entire recipe as it is (and you eat 1 serving), you’ll have to enter .25 (1/4) as the serving size.

Hope that helps!

I am wondering how you change the standard ingredients to something in here. An example: I love Gazpacho and make it homemade so I don't follow any set recipe/directions. I would like to change the ingredients or create my own recipe so that it would show the calories, fat, carbs, etc. for what I put in it. How do I do that? When I add it in my foods (in the add foods page) it says canned gazpaco. I make it homemade. Please help.
