    Under the food tab there is a tab called recipes...you put in your ingredients, number of servings and VIOLA....number of calories per serving....and you can log it in your diary

    Why is everyone making it so difficult?

    "You have to weigh it"
    "Is it the size of a deck of cards?"

    .....it's a chicken leg! Search for chicken leg and enter 1 chicken leg. Eating "the meat" from a chicken leg is no different than eating a chicken leg...it should be logged the same way.

    I had to laugh a little because everyone seems to be ignoring you, and you have the most obvious correct answer. LOL.

    I know! It's ridiculous.


    I don't have a kitchen scale right now...

    And again ignoring you??!! :tongue:

    Christ almighty, just search for "chicken leg" and it will be there"! This isn't rocket science.

    It sounds to me like she didn't eat the whole leg.

    OP, if you ate all the meat, just enter 'chicken leg' and hit 1. If you ate like half the meat, enter 0.5. That's what I do, and I've been doing chicken legs a lot lately because for some reason the groceries have had loads of sales on them. You'd think they were raising chickens hybridized with centipedes.

    I hope you eat more than what's logged on your diary for the last few days.....


    I don't log my morning coffee...I should I guess...I drink 1-2 cups..with 1 tsp sugar and 1% milk...and I drink water all day long and the occasional glass of orange juice or a glass of milk...I guess I need to log those...95% of what i drink is water though.
    For a couple of days I wasn't eating much...upset that my best friend is in ICU at hospital...but she is better now and is going home after the weekend.:)

    Please be sure to log your morning coffee! I also have 2 cups each day but remember that sugar and milk both have calories that, over time, add up!! Also, be sure to measure the milk, as what seems to be a couple of tablespoons, can quickly turn into something much more! Just speaking from experience.

    I understand your emotional non-eating! I'm like that too. Just be conscious that you don't eat too few calories and put your body into starvation mode. It'll screw up your metabolism and cause your body to hang on to calories instead of losing them! Good luck!

    I cook a lot of stuff from the Taste of Home Comfort Food Diet Cookbook. Great recipes, easy to make, and it gives you the calories! Most of the recipes are already in the database too!:happy:

    was not ignoring any suggestion....but I only ate about 4-5 pinkie finger sizes pieces of meat....don't need to be rocket scientist to search a whole chicken leg..but I didn't not eat a whole chicken leg...also someone mentioned weigh my food...I replied I don't have a scale...therefore can't weigh the food...geesh

    This is the most useful post on here...even though I didn't even eat 1/2 the meat..it gives me an estimate...thanks:)
