Anybody know about baked oatmeal or baked french toast for b

carrierella

I make this homemade for my family.

The baked oatmeal has an egg, brown sugar, cinnamon, whole rolled oats, milk and a bit of margarine.

The baked french toast is my layered whole wheat home-baked bread with cinnamon, egg, milk, vanilla, a pure maple syrup.

How do I find out calorie amounts for such things... ???

I would like to enjoy the things I make for my family without fretting!

Another thing I like is brown rice with cinnamon for breakfast.

I guess I am having a great deal of difficulty finding the caloric intake on things that aren't laid out plain and simple.

I DO NOT WANT TO GET SO DISCOURAGED I GIVE UP!!!! :-(

Go to the following website. It's a recipe calculator and has saved my butt times when I cook (and that's not often):

I made a simple stir fry for supper last night. This is what I do.
I go to one of my meals that has nothing logged and type in the full amount of ingredients for the whole recipe.
2 cups of bean sprouts
1cup of rice
1 cup of boiled baby carrots
1tbsp of peanut sauce
* then I go to view report where it shows all your nutrition information (I write this on a piece of paper)
it comes out to cal 161
carbs18
fat 1
protein 2
chol 0
sodium 100

etc. then I divide this number by how many people are eating. It can be alot of work depending on the number of ingredients, but it is worth it to me and I have fun doing it. I haven't checked out the one on sparkspeople, but just bookmarked it. Good luck!


I almost forgot. once you have your nutrition information for one serving, delete the ingredients from your meal. If it's something I will have again I log it as a meal with the nutrition information for one serving and name it something like Leslie's stir fry under my meals. Hope this is not too confusing.

But, the more important question is. . .when is breakfast at your house?

MMMMMM.
