How to record homemade chicken and corn (leftovers) casserole

My wife is an excellent cook and supporter for me in my battling for better health and especially diabetes and usually has the nutritional information. However, this evening she prepared a delicious chicken and corn (all from leftovers) casserole. I ate 10 oz. How do I record this in MFP? Thanks

Enter the entire recipe. It is not as tedious as it sounds. I do it all the time. Just go to recipes and enter manually with amount of each ingredient. You say how many portions. MFP will come up with a match for everything and give you the per portion breakdown, which you can then log.

good question. It really depends on what's in it. Was there a lot of vegitables, cream and butter added, or was it just chicken and corn?

You can give it a rough estimate. You can't expect to get everything perfectly logged, so do your best and just keep at it.
