in Food and Nutrition
So, I made a mix of : Summer squash, zucchini, snap peas, baby carrots, mushrooms etc ... tossed w/about 3 tablespoons olive oil & put some Mrs. dash on it and broiled it. I'm trying to figure out nutrition info. What is your go-to nutrition value site? Everything I pull up in the MFP database has really high fat counts, so I'm trying to start from scratch in figuring out the value.

    I feel like this is a trick question. MFP is my preferred nutrition value website and if it seems to have a high fat content, it could be because you used 3 tablespoons of oil.

    I did put it through recipe builder, and I'm good with that. BUT there are so many things that are only *user submitted, just curious how to verify nutrition info.

    If you are putting in the vegetables and oil in the recipe builder, you will get a pretty accurate value for calories. Everything you have in your vegetable recipe is in the database and verified, from the squash to the oil.
