So I want to start making meals my whole family can enjoy and not making three different meals a night if I make these meals can I use the nutrients that are already on here or do I have to weigh everything individually?9pvcgyjleamw.png

    Use the recipe builder. Enter the ingredients, save it and log a serving of the recipe in your food diary.

    1) use the recipe builder
    2) weigh the entire recipe when its cooked - set that weight in g as your number of servings (i.e. 300g = 300servings)
    3) weigh out your portion and log (i.e. weigh out 250g and you log 250 servings)

    I am using the recipe builder but I should just assume their measurements are right on? And not weigh each ingredient myself?

    I guess what I am asking is you don't weigh your ingredients individually when following a recipe? You take the people's word and log it and divide accordingly? My fear is it won't be right on....

    Yeah weigh them individually for accuracy. It's better to over estimate if you're not sure

    I weigh all my ingrediants separately and make notes - then adjust the recipe builder when I import the recipe

    i.e. instead of 2 chicken breasts I would be 10oz chicken breast (or whatever mine weighed)
