    Get a decent food scale. Then you can just see how many grams of whatever you use and calculate based off that.

    I would suggest putting as little as possible to start for the breading. So say you measure out 1 cup of flour. If you need to add more, measure it out. Whatever you don't use, measure it out and subtract it. That's just my educated guess.

    I make up the coating of what ever (in this case almond flour and parmesan cheese) then weigh it. I coat the food and then weigh the remainder of the coating.
