NutriAdmin allows you to specify food amounts for clients in three different formats:
- Grams (g)
- Ounces (oz, 1oz = 28g)
- Portions (e.g. 1 cup, 1 tbsp, etc)
You can freely change the settings in your account to select the format that you want to use for meal plan creation, and recipe editing. This will be specifically useful if you live in a region of the world where there is a specific convention for units.
To change your food quantity units, follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Click on Settings, from the left-side menu
