Hi all dedicated people..

i am currently eating around 1300 calories a day (i think soo), i am a fan of Asian(indian) food and i experiment a variety of my own cooked food on myself ...

is there any easy way to find calories in home-made indian food..

I think if you really wanted it to be accurate, you could click on 'recipes' and choose the option to add a recipe, list all the ingredients and how many servings, and it calculates the calories per serving for you. It takes a bit of time, but if it's something you plan to make often, it would be worthwhile to add the recipe.
By the way, 1300 calories is quite low for a male, it is usually recommended men not go under 1400
You are doing great, and nice choices during Ramadan! My husband is eating loads of bread and has put on a little weight.

You can make and add your own recipes under your food tab. Its alittle time consuming but once its done you can useit over and over.

Checking online or in MFP's database is often what I do. I know it's not going to be 100% accurate all the time, but gives me a good estimate.

Either that, or I pull out a ruler to measure them.



I'll be here all week, folks.
