How do you know



Recommended Posts

For basic foods that don't have nutrition information on the packaging, you can probably Google.

Otherwise, the nutrition facts per serving should be listed on the packaging.

How do you know how much Protein you get from food? I made a scrambled egg and ate 3 bites.

If I don't finish a meal, I will weigh what is left that I didn't eat and only count the Protein I actually ate. I also use my fitness pal and it allows for half and quarter portions. It's not an exact acience, just try to get the best count you can.

My fitness pal has just about everything. You just have to guess what the size is. So 1 egg, split into 3 butes is maybe .25 an egg - just change the number to a fraction that reflects how much of something you ate. I also keep MFP at 900cal instead of 1000cal so I have room if I misjudge things here and there.

Agreed on My fitness pal. It gives the calories and Protein and other nutritional facts and you can adjust how much of a serving you ate to get a more accurate estimation

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
