Hi, I signed up this site in April, but have only now had the opportunity to use it. I like it. I'm having a hard time finding the foods that I ate in the database... I'm on travel for 3 months and for breakfast i eat the in the hotel, I don't know the type of cereal they have....also, I eat a lot of salads for lunch. Do i have to enter all the ingrediants that I put in my salad?

Some may do it differently, but I dont count the veggies in my salad. I know, I know...someone is going to jump on and tell me I should but this is what works for me.
the only thing is, I count the dressing and any non-veggie item I put in the salad...for example..feta cheese, almonds, egg slices etc.
The way I work it is non starchy veggies (for me) are free foods.
Just my opinion and what works for me.0 -
I would add all the ingreients. Then make it you menu if you eat the same salad every time. In my menu I put the title (my name salad) It is easy to find then.0

Or you could gather a generic salad close to your combination and count it. Making sure you cover any additives like salad dressing or croutons etc. that you put on.:drinker: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:0

We have a salad bar at work, so I tend to have slight variations every day. But it remembers the ingredients that I add often, so most of the time, I just have to click on each item and say add for the lunch, and it doesn't take me long at all to log in the different variations.0

Hi thanks for the post! I liked your way Especially coming from a person who has lost 72 lbs! I did weight watchers 2 years ago and basically all the veggies (non starch) were free points.
BTW, do you drink any diet sodas? If so, do you enter them in your diary?0
