Weight-Based Portions for Recipes

7 votes

Hi YAZIO Team,

​I use YAZIO daily, and I have a suggestion to improve the Recipe feature, specifically for those of us who do batch cooking.
​Currently, we have to define a fixed number of servings for a recipe. However, when cooking large quantities, it’s often difficult to estimate how many "servings" a meal makes. It would be much more accurate to calculate nutrition based on the total weight of the finished dish.

​The Problem:
​After cooking a big pot of chili or stew, the total weight varies every time due to water evaporation. Dividing it into "5 servings" is imprecise because every bowl might have a different weight.

​My Suggestion:
​Introduce an option to set the recipe yield by Total Weight (grams) rather than portions.
​The user weighs the final cooked dish (e.g., 2450g).
​YAZIO automatically calculates the nutrients per 100g using a simple rule of three based on the total ingredients.
​When logging the meal, the user simply enters the weight of their specific plate (e.g., 350g).
​This would make tracking significantly more accurate and flexible for meal prep enthusiasts!

​Best regards
G.
