I am making chicken breast with a sauce. The recipe makes a lot of sauce, but I only eat what is on the breast, I don't eat extra sauce. How do I log it?

    Just guesstamate how much sauce you have on the breast. is it 1T or 2T or 1/4 cup. That's what i would do. You can't be 100% accurate all the time so when in doubt I just do my best to guess :)

    Go to the Food tab, then Recipes. You can enter the recipe there.

    Since you eat less than the average serving of sauce, I'd go ahead and enter the Suace into your recipes, but then weigh what you will use on your chicken breast and enter that as your number of servings in your log.

    So if the Recipe says it makes 8 1/2 cup servings, but you only put on 1/4 cup, you'd enter .5 servings of 1/2 cup.

    I entered the recipe, but with the chicken. I will just enter the sauce. Thanks.
