How in the heck?

How in the heck do I record the egg/milk/vanilla/cinnamon combination I use to make french toast? (since only a little gets onto the bread?)!!! Thanks!

I had trouble with this to. But if you just search the database for "french toast" there are a few options. That's all I do and add in the amount of butter I use in the pan. It's not entirely accurate, but I tend to over estimate to be on the safe side.

I know it's a pain, but what comes to mind is to make a "nutrition chart" for the *whole* custard, then break it down to a tablespoon sized serving, then see how many tablespoons it takes to roughly reach your preferred level of saturation. Off the cuff, inaccurate example only to show process - 2 eggs, 1/2C skim milk (I wouldn't count the cinnamon or vanilla- it's virtually non-caloric, (unless you use something like the dominos cinnamon sugar mix) roughly 3/4C of mixture= 185 cals (do the same for carbs/protein) then figure out who many tablespoons (which will be your "serving". Google tells me there are 12 Tbsps in 6 oz, so we'll use that. 140 cals for eggs, + 45 cals for skim milk= 185cals divided by 12 tbsps= about 15 cals/tbsps. Then you take a piece of bread, and one tbsps at a time, figure out how many it takes to make the french toast the way you like. Lets just say it takes 3 tbsps of mixture. That's 45 cals mixture, plus the slice of bread= french toast per slice. I'd suggest when you figure it out, you make it a meal to save in recipes, then you won't have to work it out each time, as long as you don't change your recipe. It's a pain, I know, but that's what I do, and it makes me feel pretty secure that I have accurate numbers. HTH

you create your own meal...add each individualized ingredient by measuring it and dividing up the info accordingly. name it and there ya go, right there and ready in your diary for the next time you make your special french toast.

1. Create a recipe with the exact amounts you use for the liquid.
2. Get a volume in a measuring bowl. i.e. 2 cups of liquid total
3. Make your french toast, but dont throw away the excess liquid.
4. Measure the remaining liquid, i.e. 1/4 cup
5. add to your diary the amount you used 1 3/4 cups
6. Shazaam, I'm a genuis! Glad to help!!
