Everyone tracks a little differently, and that’s okay 💚 Whether you prefer cups, grams, or your own custom portions, Yazio gives you flexible ways to log food that fit your daily routine.
 

Are there different portion sizes?

For many foods in our database, you can choose from different portion sizes to make logging feel intuitive and flexible.

You might see options like:

• Teaspoon
• Cup

If a specific portion size isn’t available, you can always:

• Weigh the food and log it in grams
• Measure liquids in milliliters

We’re continuously improving and expanding our food database, so logging stays easy and supportive ☺️
 

How can I create my own food with a custom portion?

If you create your own food entry in the app, you’re fully in control.

You can:

• Choose the portion size that feels right for you
• Edit the food entry at any time (private foods)

This is a helpful option if you regularly eat something that isn’t listed, or if you prefer a specific way to track.
 

How can I edit portion sizes of public foods?

When you add a food from the public database to your diary, Yazio remembers:

• The portion size you selected
• The amount you entered

The next time you add the same food, this portion is suggested automatically to save you time.

At the moment:

• You can add new portion sizes, but the original serving size can’t be changed
• To change it, you’ll need to create the food again

We know this isn’t perfect yet, and we’re actively working on it.
 

How can I change units of measurement in my profile?

You can switch units at any time, for example, from grams and milliliters to ounces and fluid ounces.

Here’s how:

• Go to Profile
• Open Settings
• Select Units
• Tap on Servings
• Choose the unit of measurement you prefer

Pick what feels most natural for you; there’s no right or wrong here.
