Ive been doing pretty good watching my calories and tracking them as well.....as long as there is a bar code!
How you calculate calories for a recipe? What is the most accurate way to do it?
take each ingredient?
For example, im making fried burritos (sounds bad I know, but I dont really "fry" them)
I use ground turkey, Spanish rice, re fried beans, and a tortilla shell....roll it up and heat it up on each side for a few seconds in canola oil.
Would I just take each ingredient? Would that be accurate?
Thank you!
p.s. i'm always looking for new friends that I can connect with to inspire,,guide and motivate! :)

    If you're just making one I would just add the individual ingredients to your meal in your diary. But there is also the recipe option under food. Click on Create new recipe and you would add the ingredients you used, and under serving size the amount of burritos you made... Hope this is helpful :)
