Bone broth

efriling

I love bone broth...easy to digest, lots of nutrition, and easy to make with things you’re going to throw out anyway (bones/veggie scraps). My question is...how do you go about calculating the nutrients/macros in homemade broth like that?

I don't think there is a way. If you use mostly beef bones I would use the homemade beef broth db entry and if you use mostly chicken use the chicken broth. My recipe is never the same twice and once the bones are removed and the vegetables are strained who knows what calories, macros, and nutrients are left.

Personally I think both entries are a bit high but there is no way I know of to calculate it so I guess we are stuck with them.

I find an MFP entry that matches the USDA nutrient database entry for
soup, stock, beef, home-prepared
or soup, stock, chicken, home-prepared

If I'm making veggie stock, I either use an entry for a commercially prepared veggie stock, or if I'm lazy, I might ignore it, because frankly the calories are pretty negligible.
