I've searched for chopped onion and it's not in the database.
It's not like a real onion that i chopped. but its in a spice jar, and its dried chopped onion.
all my spice canister says is "Spice supreme chopped onion" there is no nutritional facts on it.
anyone have any idea?

I use alot of spices as well. I just look on the bottle of what 1 tsp = raw. Then look it up on here and get my calories from that0

I tend to skip spices, since the calorie values are usually in the single digits if at all. I'd google it - since there are lots of other more thorough nutrition databases out there.0

Look it up on google. Is there a name on the jar?0

Can you go to the manufacturer web site and get the info or maybe maybe Google nutritional info do dried chopped onion and then add it to the database? Hope this helps:)0

Few things I would look at, that I've had to do myself. Search for the brand, or Google the exact name with "nutrition" in there. Something should pull up. Fortunately the worst you might get from spices are sodium. Most I've found have been low on calories and most everything else but sodium. Hope that helps If it's not on MFP Google "Spice supreme chopped onion nutrition info". Then you can use that and there's an option when searching for foods to make a new food list, so use Google to do it . From what I've found there are 4 calories in a TBSP of chopped onions, so I would go off of that too.0

You can add it to the database if it is not in it.0

Are people adding in enough spices in their foods to have a significant number of calories to consider?
Wouldn't 1-2 teaspoons of anything be negligable?
If not, I'm in trouble.0
