I often create my own recipes as majority of our food is made from scratch. How do I work out calories for fried food? Obviously I cam weigh out the ingredients but if something is then deep fried how do I do this?

    The only method I've ever come up with would be to measure the oil when you put it in the fryer, do your frying, measure the oil left in the fryer afterward, and log the difference.

    Also in for replies! I don't deep fry food very often at all, but it would be nice to know how to log it, should the need arise.... *onion rings*
