    Weigh (digital scale) and log everything and eat to your calories

    Select foods from database with care ..if starred they are member submitted look for entries with most confirmations ...scan bar codes where possible and double check info is right, avoid entries saying homemade and build your own recipes

    Log your exercise and eat back 50 to 75% if using MFP or machine burns ...they overestimate

    That's it ...just commit to achieve your goals

    Just earlier today I finally bought myself the digital scale, now my main concern is submitting my information for home cook meals. Should I just upload the calories overall or every little thing on its own? - thanks!

    There's a recipe calculator on here, where you can create your own recipes :smile:

    You can build recipes so you can choose it again...best thing for me is to weigh all the ingredients and enter them in recipe, then weigh finished, cooked recipe and divide by 100g portions so that I can grab different amounts based on hunger ...I make big pots of food and keep in the fridge to grab for meals

    Or you can save meals down to repeat

    But yes to start with, yes, weigh each ingredient and log it

    Just started today aswell, listing small things, even vitamins that you consume daily takes a while. Previously chosen items will in future automatically show up in your personal list when selecting a meal time. Good luck!
