erica_ozzy73 241 Posted January 23, 2017 Ok... so how do others get on when working out how much Protein etc they are eating if you are making up a huge pot of eg spag bolg , Soup or casserole?.. if the ingredients are NOT measured to begin with. How do we know per serve what we are actually getting?... this has been a question of mine for years lol. I just guess-timate!... how do others do it?.

Travelher 915 Posted January 23, 2017 I do weigh and measure everything, then I portion it into servings. Myfitnesspal does the calculating for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erica_ozzy73 241 Posted January 23, 2017 Because I'm cooking for a family with 6 or 7 and me it makes it difficult to measure what the others willl eat. Some like a shit load more and some like less. If I was just cooking for me of course I would measure. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wendyfm 494 Posted January 23, 2017 I use my fitness pal to track what I eat. They have a recipe section, that you can use to input the food that you make/ by servings. It will then break down the calories and other important facts for you Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheRealMeIsHere! 863 Posted January 23, 2017 Is it possible to do a large pot for the family and a small, measured pot separately at the same time? That way you can leave out any carby additions as well as knowing how much of each ingredient you are getting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wendyfm 494 Posted January 29, 2017 Sure, you are in control of what you cook and can do anything you want. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
