    The USDA database is ac good source of info and then you can try to find a corresponding entry in the MFP food database.

    Yup. And the database is here:

    https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/

    If you find the right thing in the SR Legacy subsection there, quite often MFP will have that same data in its database under the same name, since MFP pre-loaded the database from USDA when MFP started. Usually those entries in MFP default to a silly quantity, often one cup . . . but they'll have weights, volumes, sometimes counts or sizes in the serving size drop-down.

    Another, simpler way is to look at wikipedia. The data is not too bad (have to admit I don't know where it comes from). 100g apple = x calories. Then search for a database entry with the same numbers, and log how many grams you had, like 0.76 if you had 76g
