I'm never sure how to add the oil I cook with to my diary. If I used coconut oil to make pancakes this morning, how much did I actually ingest and how much cooked away (if any)/got left in the pan? What do you all usually do?

    Add it all. Barely any gets "cooked off", and whatever gets left in the pan is like a little bonus deficit you give yourself. If there's alot left in the pan, you're using too much to begin with.

    Either add it all or measure what you used to start with and then measure what is left in the pan and subtract.

    I just log it all, but I don't use that much of it to begin with. I would just log it, and if you have enough left over that you can measure - measure it and subtract from what you are logging.
