Update Serving Sizes of Recipes Already on Your Planner (App)

Update the serving size of recipes on your Planner to immediately update your Shopping List.

Last updated on 05 Oct, 2026

Change a recipe's serving size

  1. Tap a recipe already on your Planner.

  2. Tap the Serving pill to open Scale Recipe.

  3. Use the - and + buttons to set a specific number of servings, or tap a preset (0.5x, 1x, 2x) to scale relative to the recipe's original servings.

  4. Tap the checkmark to confirm.

In your Shopping List, the number of servings for that recipe and the associated ingredient amounts will adjust to match.

ℹ️ Scaling servings from your Planner does not change the original recipe. It only affects that one instance of the recipe on your Planner.

You can also use the Servings toggle in Planner Settings (upper right) to display the serving size on every recipe on your Planner, so you can see them all at a glance.

Change multiple serving sizes at once

  1. Tap the Edit Plan icon on the Planner (box with checkmark).

  2. Select the recipes you'd like to update.

  3. Tap Edit at the bottom and choose Change Servings.

  4. Type in the new serving size, which will apply to all selected recipes.

  5. Tap Save to finalize the change.

The number of servings for those recipes and the associated ingredient amounts will adjust in your Shopping List.
