    Changed portion / number

    Weight of three I bought
    1 Garnet 1.70 LB
    Two weighed together 2.82 lb
    Any help in calorie count?
    I put Fage 0% for protein

    That's about 1,100 calories. Most people would consider that a high calorie dinner, but it's all about whether or not it fits into your day. What is your overall calorie goal?

    Today I basically had 100 140 for breakfast 400 for lunch so I guess that gives me around 1,800 range

    Seems like a lot of calories just from sweet potatoes (although depends on your goals). What else are you eating?

    I know the rest of the calorie numbers from breakfast/ lunch are what I listed (says on container etc)

    I feel like you are looking for a argument which I decline honestly now I know how many calories are in the potatoes the rest I’m completely sure of all I need to do is hit the gym harder when I consume those calories 😒

    No I’m honestly curious - why couldn’t you look them up?

    Would sweet potato’s be considered low value or high calorie wise. My dinners usually consist of 4 large sweet potato’s with Greek yogurt not sure if this is a high calorie dinner or not

    If you enter the amount (properly measured and weighted) in your dairy, MFP will give you the calorie of the dinner and the breakdown of the macros. It seems to me that if you don't know if it is a high calorie dinner, you are not logging or using your diary.

    If you eat that many sweet potatoes daily you will develop a yellow tinge to your palms and soles. (I speak from experience, lol)

    Me too. If you see her other posts she has been counting calories for years to make sure she doesn't gain anything so I am curious why OP didn't just look them up because she had the weight?

    OP I am glad you no longer are only eating 1600 while doing ballet hours a day! I saw you were afraid to increase without gaining.
