    I suggest you use the recipe option under the food tab (click the food tab, then recipes, then click the green box labelled "enter new recipe"). Find and enter each of you individual ingredients, which mostly likely are all in the database, to give you a tally for the full amount. For "servings", I would just enter 1, and then assuming your pitcher is 24 ounces and you drank 16 ounces, just enter the meal into your diary as 0.66 (i.e., 16/24, which is 66%). That will give you the total calories and nutrition values for the amount you drank.

    Oh, and without having any idea of the exact ingredients of your smoothie, I'd guess that 234 isn't high for 16 ounces. Again, that would depend mostly on how much berries and sunflower butter you had, and what kind of coconut milk you used (sweetened or unsweetened, light or regular, etc.).

    What I think this person wants you to do is actually google each ingrediant, because he thinks that the packaging lable is wrong, because of how many calories are in the smoothie, even though I don't think I have ever made a smoothie with that low of a calorie count. He actually added up the calories on each specific product, but really thinks those lables are wrong.


    Oops, I guess I totally misunderstood him. His post was far from clear, as everyone's pointed out....:smile:

    I came up with 243 - (1 serving for each ingredient) (not adding ginger). Sounds delicious and healthy - probably well worth the calories! Add some rum and I think it'll be calorie free :) Enjoy!

    Go to http://www.calorieking.com/ it will help you a bunch with specific ingredients and serving sizes.

    Clicked on link but didn't go anywhere. Can't you just provide the contents of the link? Why does this have to be so hard!?!?!

    The site works (try it without the http, that should populate on it's own in your browser), but it's a pay subscription site. I already spend enough on food and exercise, but thanks for the link.

    Thank you! Not difficult to calc, right? Yes! Rum makes everything zero calories :)

    Wow. Tell me his breed, age and general activity level (general info like I provided) and I'll let you know a good estimate. Not difficult. Just amazing how many people here laugh at others when they're sincerely seeking help and trying to get fit. Lesson learned. Thanks for all your help. I figured it out with the assistance of someone nice and intelligent.

    That's exactly the point. You didn't give all the necessary information, but left out both breed and age and only told us the activity level. This is a funny thread, I wasn't mocking you, but maybe you chose to read my reply with those glasses on?

    I can also estimate quite a few things, as long as you give the necessary details. In physics, if you want to calculate a distance, you need both time and speed/velocity, but if one is missing the distance estimated could be anything from zero to endlessly large.

    I would have helped you if you had presented a list of ingredients and their individual volumes/masses, but you didn't as far as I remember. You were asked to give those details more than once, but I still haven't seen a comprehensive list. Hence a funny thread, but still not laughing *at* your person; big difference.

    Exactly. You gave no brands or measurements.. (Full fat or not sunflower butter?). If you had, no one would have "poked fun" at you.
