I went to inlaws for dinner i dont exactly know what the brand names for supper were! It was a hone cooked meal!
How do i know calories on that? Heres what i ate
3 tbsp of cooked purple cabbage
2 tbsp of carrots and peas boiled with margarine in it
1 dumpling with about 2 tbsp of homemade gravy
Maybe 2 bites of roast beef
1 glass of red wine
I know thats alot! But i need to add it to diary!!!!
Any sugestions on the calories either all together or each individual?

    i'd just add everything in one by one... if its not exact for one day, it won't kill you.

    If it really REALLY was 2 bites of roast beef, I wouldn't worry maybe count that as 1/8th or 1/16th of a serving unless you know FOR SURE it equaled to half a serving or a full serving.

    You have me a little worried. Maybe you shouldn't be logging, and focus on eating more.
