Each person gets their own portion.
Eat This Much sizes your meals to your own targets. Its family setting multiplies a meal for up to 9 people. Its help page says this “won't automatically handle multiple people's different nutrition targets for you”, and suggests workarounds. A beta feature links accounts, so each person has their own plan and targets. In Susten, only you set targets. Each other person at your table gets a small, medium or large portion, in one plan.
