Nutrient Preferences and Setting Decimal Places

Nutrient Preferences (My preferences > Nutrients) allows you to control how and which nutrients are displayed within the Nutrition tab and in the Nutrition Summary Report. 
This is useful when you want to view a more precise nutrient breakdown and/or display only certain nutrients. 

By default, all nutrients will be displayed and the decimal points set to 0, 1, or 2 places. 

To show or hide a nutrient

1. Click on My Preferences in the lower left navigation bar. 
2. Select Nutrients in the upper navigation panel. 
3. Click on the eye icon to the left of the nutrients you wish to hide, or return to visible if they had been previously hidden. 

Remember to Save in the upper right after making changes. Additionally, there is an option to reset to Default on the right side of the window. 

Here is an example of a recipe displaying only Energy with some specific minerals and vitamins.

To change Decimal Places

1. Click on My Preferences in the lower left navigation bar. 
2. Select Nutrients in the upper navigation panel. 
3. Click on the Decimal Places label and a dropdown will appear. Select either Set for all or set for individual nutrients. If you choose to select individual nutrients, remember to click save in the upper right corner of the window. 

Additionally, there is an option to reset to Default on the right side of the window. 

Here is an example of Vitamin C set to 3 decimal places compared to 0 decimal places. 

The nutrient amounts for the ingredients will continue to automatically adjust, setting for the precision of the nutrient.
