Hi, i was wondering if anyone can give me the macros of "frying ". No always its possible to find them. If I eat a stake the calories in MFP are for the row steak? If i fry it this steak how many calories I added? Does it add fat?
I am a bit lost. Please help

    if you are pan frying it without additional oil, then you are not adding additional calories

    if you are frying it in some kind of oil, then you need to account for a best guess of how much oil your food is absorbing and then add that amount of oil - calories are going to vary greatly based on type of oil

    For pan frying, I just include the oil I'm frying in, especially if I use any excess or anything. For deep frying, I might estimate a little extra. Generally, though, I don't worry too much over it.
