create food in new versione is too inconvenience

change back to the old yazio update, I don't want the create food item to change like that. I can't leave values per less or more than 100 grams, without monounsaturated and polyunsaturated

When trying to add a new food to Yazio's database, the app forces users to enter the nutritional information for 100 gr of the product. Problem is, many (and I mean A LOT) of the nutrition facts labels you find in food packages out there do not include this information: the values provided are based on servings, which are usually less (or more) than 100 gr. So... in order to actually add some item to the app's food database, you need to make a bunch of ridiculous mathematical calculations to determine (by the simple rule of three or whatever) how many carbs, protein, sodium, etc. there are in 100 gr, based on whatever information you do have in the label. If you like Math, fine. BUT WHY would you subject the rest of us to this kind of torture? I have stopped adding new foods altogether, which has decreased the accuracy of my food diary significantly. If there's any way around this, please somebody let me know.
And Yazio, do include serving options besides 100 gr, please! Thank you.
