    Well heres the way I do it...

    If it goes in my mouth I add it....

    If its a food made up from different items - i.e. a cheese sandwich, I would add the cheese by serving (weight/slice etc), and then add 2 silces of bread, not forgetting to add any butter/spreads. I always take the trouble to use the actual producers nutriitional data rather than some generic data.

    Other foods will have already been listed as a combined entry, which is great if you can find it.
