Need help entering a recipe

snwilliams3

I have a recipe that includes dipping chicken in egg whites and then into a crumb mixture. What's the best way to enter this? If I just enter it as an ingredient, it will be adding too many calories. Also, do you think dipping in skim milk instead would serve the same purpose as the egg whites?

Thanks!

i'd weigh it all out and put them in individually

I am not sure how to log the dipping, but I know of at least one recipe (Cooking Light's Oven Zucchini Chips) that does use skim milk to dip in before breading.

You'll never know till you try!

i would weigh the eggs before i dipped the chicken in, and then weigh it after. if 2 eggs weighs 30g grams and you end up actually using half, then enter one egg. same with the crumb mixture.
thats what i did last night when i made baked chicken legs (though i didnt dip in egg whites, just flour/cornmeal)

I would just enter the amount of egg white personally, 1 egg white is very few calories. Weight the crumbs out before you dip the chicken in it, for example weigh out 50g dip the chicken in it and see how much if any is left
