We are eating at my parents house tonight and my mom is making seafood gumbo. I plan on eating brown rice with just the broth from the gumbo (no meat, no seafood). How would I calculate the calories for the gumbo broth?

    I don't care for seafood too much and I don't want to eat the sausage as it would likely put me over my calories.

    Google the calories for gumbo base and go from there?

    I agree with this, but also if its one meal, I'd eat it an call it a day, you should be able to balance it out if you're over during the rest of the week. I honestly wouldn't stress over it, if it's one meal.

    I found it! I found out the brand of base she is using and googled it!

    40 calories for 1 cup.
