Hi! I am new to calorie counting, tracking, weighing food. For the life of me, I can’t figure it out. I feel so stupid lol. Am I supposed to just know the portion sizes/calories/oz or is there somewhere I can type in i ate x food that weighed x oz and get a calorie estimate? For example, mfp said 1/2 cucumber was 9 calories and my sister helped me do the math-it was 50 🤨. I can’t math. Please help me.

    - clear food scale to 0
    - put cucumber on scale (ready to eat).
    - get weight in grams
    - in MFP find an entry for cuccumbers with weight attached.
    - select that entry and scroll to get the desiered weight (you can use franctions of numbers).
