Tips for making calorie counting more accurate?

- weigh your solids and measure your liquids
- don't use generic entries, find your actual product in the database or search using USDA (i.e. broccoli, steamed - USDA)
- If you are using the weight of cooked things then make sure you pick the cooked entry from the database...if you weigh it out raw use the raw entry. For example, 4 ounces of cooked chicken breast is going to have more calories than 4 ounces raw because that 4 ounces cooked was probably more like 5 or 6 ounces when it was raw
- Use the recipe builder for homemade recipes rather than generic, "suzies cream of chicken soup" or whatever. I did use those in a pinch, but I entered most of my recipes into the recipe builder over time.
- eat out less
