4. If desired, edit the serving size or quantity of the recipe you’d like to log

5. Tap "Explode"

6. Edit quantities of individual ingredients from your plate if desired

7. Tap “Log items”

Option 2 (present in both speed mode and context mode):

1. Tap the + button near the bottom of the screen

2. Tap “Your Recipes”

3. Add a recipe to your plate

4. From your plate, tap the “Explode” button under the recipe
