Yields are an often overlooked detail of a recipe, but they are essential for several reasons. Accurate yields can help you

Scale accurately between portion, weight or volume.
Get accurate nutrition labels
When entering your plates or menu items into meez, you should usually enter in the yield as a serving.
If you don't know the yield of your batch or prep recipes, you can click the toggle to have meez "Auto calculate total yield." This will do a sum of the gram weights of all your recipes and add the total to the Total Yield Field.

There is a chance that one or more of your ingredients is written in volume (ml, cups, tbsp, etc) or container units (each, bottle, pack, etc). If this is the case, there must be a weight equivalency set. To learn more about this, click here.
To fix this issue...
Simply navigate to the ingredient's page, and click the tab "UoM Equivalency." Then make sure to set an equivalency for the weight = volume = each. Remember, you only have to set the equivalency for two of the fields.
