Servings – what does that mean?

    Hi all,
    does anyone know what to put in the servings tab? What is an average serving? Should I put it in grams or oz or something else. Ounces is a bit old! And yet whatever I put in, the nutritional information appears to be grossly wrong (says a meal is something like 34 calories when in fact it should be like 400 calories).

    Help!

    Many thanks
    PS I don’t see why it can’t work out the nutritional information from the Yield. If the yield is set to 4, then perhaps the whole meal calorie count divided by 4? Am I missing something here? (most probably).

    Yields and servings are used differently. If you have a banana bread recipe the yield would be 1 loaf of banana bread and the servings would be something like 12 slices. The plugin uses servings to calculate nutrition. So would use 12 slices instead of 1 loaf.

    We understand that many bloggers often enter servings as a yield which messes up the nutrition calculation. We’re going to change this so that yields will be treated the same as servings for nutrition calculations in this instance.

    If both yield and servings are entered then we will use servings for nutrition. If only yield is entered then we will use yield for nutrition.

    I hope this makes sense. For accurate nutrition you’ll want enter servings until we release the update to handle both yield and servings the same.

    Thanks!
