Can anyone give a suggestion how to log in homemade white bread? I had 1.5 pieces for supper tonight and gave it 400 cals.

    Ditto above. For each loaf I weigh the finished product after it has cooled to determine how many ounces it is, then use that as the # of servings. That way when I weigh the bread I eat each day, I have an accurate calorie count. Once you have the recipe in you can update the # of servings easily. I don't know how much it actually fluctuates, I haven't made the same recipe twice since I started MFP. Also, weighing the flour instead of just going by volume will get more accurate results.

    BTW, if you want to get a little more whole grains in your diet, try adding in a little white whole wheat, maybe 1/4 of the total flour to start. My husband doesn't like whole wheat, but I can get him up to a 50/50 loaf of white/white whole wheat.
