When you add the recipe to your food diary put the serving in as 80g. To measure out your serving simply place it on the scale. Now your recipe is showing you the macros for a single gram of your recipe. For example, say this recipe weighed out to 1853. Once you have weighed your dish go back into the recipe and edit the serving to how much the food weighs. You can do this by pouring into another dish on the scale or for things like casserole you can weigh the dish you’re using to cook it in, note the weight, then weigh the entire dish after cooking and subtract the weight of the dish (see this video).

Once the recipe is finished weigh the entire recipe.
