Hello
I am not sure im logging the right calories etc.
Tonight my dinner was spaghetti with mushrooms with garlic.
So when logging the dinner I searched for spaghetti, found one record with 200 grams, then searched for mushrooms, found one with 50grams...add it.

But there were other records were the same amount of spaghetti or the same amount of mushrooms had very different calories...

I end up choosing one of them, but I have no idea if im logging the right calories...

My OCD is getting into me. I need to learn how to get this right;)

Anyone has some smart and informed tips for me?

Thanks in advance!

    Did the spaghetti you used come in a package? You can either scan the barcode or just be sure you're searching the right brand, etc. Mushrooms I usually use the USDA entry. Did you not have sauce? If you did you'll want to enter that too. I assume since you listed everything in grams you're using a food scale so that's great.
