A research project to analyze how we interact with the food products we consume everyday.

Ah yes this is a difficult one, as some products are more difficult to define once manipulated, but you should be fine with dry goods like rice I would think, I rarely see 'as prepared' for nutritional content but you may be on the look out for this more than me! If anything products like rice may reduce slightly from cooking due to loss of starches. Would you say a before and after cooking nutritional content table would be helpful? Owen

On the contrary, I find that far too many "dry" ingredients such as rice and pasta give carb counts only "as prepared", making the use of the raw ingredients in dishes difficult to calculate. A before and after listing would definitely be an advantage

I tried Aft Bins, I tried feet as a decimal A.C with and without ft, I converted to cm xxx I tried 'xxx' - it would not accept any option I could think of.

I have taken a look back just to be sure! For FT it should accept a number (no characters) up to 2 decimal places ('5.75' for example) and for CM should accept a whole number up to three ('165' for example). Sorry this is causing you trouble, It may also be an issue with the browser working on mobile/iPad?

It's a tricky one but certainly doable, I think with space constraints this would almost certainly have to be done off the packet, but certainly achievable. Maybe if they supplied a table split up like you see when packets show cooking methods like oven, microwave, steam, etc!

This is on a humungous desktop - I use it for designing knitwear in between forays onto the net - it should not have any bother coping with anything.
Should there be ' 's around the number?

No, just the number should be fine. Are you inputting into both boxes by any chance, as it only needs to be one?

No, just the one.
I'll give it another try later on maybe - this going to work is all very well for the money, but in the heat it is very draining.

I'm guessing the font would be even smaller then! If it had to be one or the other then I'd go for raw every time, because, seriously, who wants their pasta going cold while they weigh it 😎

Thank you, apologies for the pain! I cant quite understand what is going on.

Certainly, 'as cooked' and 'as sold' certainly needs streamlining!

Completed.

Like the earlier comments, my focus is now the amount of carbs contained in the product and I have also been cooking from scratch and abandoned processed meals.

Good luck with your research.

Brill! Thank you for your help. O
