Weight-Based Portions for Recipes
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.
