Hi everyone.
Ask here if you have a food or drink that you can't find a satisfactory nutritional value for in the My Fitness App. One of our clever members may be able to help.

Lambs Head Whole to make a curry.
There are references to lambs head meat etc on app but nothing like the right info. I know for a fact that the brain is higher in fat and calories that the rest of the meat.
Thanks.0 -
Could you break it down to two entries, one for the head meat and the other for brains?0

Good idea but that means pulling it to bits raw. Yuck! I'm being adventurous enough pressure cooking it then pushing the meat off with a plastic utensil. Also, I'm not sure if there is an entry for brain.0 -
There would be an entry for lambs brains, they're quite a common dish in the UK and Australia.1

while not perfect - you could weigh the overall head and then estimate how much is brains vs. meat for logging0

I think I am going to have to do an FBI style autopsy. Weigh the meat, the brain, the tongue, etc etc, then find close approximations to those and add them up into a whole head. Then add the entry into the app.0

I've been told I put my foot in my mouth at times; however, I cannot find an entry "Foot in Mouth" while i'm not 'eating' my foot per-say, it is briefly in my mouth to much my displeasure and others it seems. Gum has a caloric content thus I figure so does my foot.
So... my question.
Would anyone know how many calories I leech off my foot in say a 30 second period? Should I weigh my foot, or ... does anyone know how to accurately calculate the surface area of my foot; and then... now do I calculate calories earned?
I'm at a loss here...0 -

Well as you are eating yourself, you are both losing and gaining equal amounts of weight. In fact, as the amounts cancel each other out, you will actually lose the calorific value that the body uses in chewing on, licking at, eating and digesting the foot. Technically you have a negative value food there pal. Chow down.4 -
How could I have been so daft to not realize that?! Thank you so much for clearing this matter up and enlightening me. So glad I found this thread! I can now put my foot in my mouth without having to worry about messing up my daily intake if I do it too much! Cheers!1

This is why chewing your nails counts as exercise.3 -

Really? My UK rellies used to sing the praises of crumbed lambs brains! They got excited when they were on the menu of a local pub here.1 -
I'm in the UK as well and brains (of any animal) are definitely not a common dish. In fact, I have never seen brains on a menu. I've just googled the idea and the first entry to come up is a BBC Food Guide that starts "Brains aren't the easiest of ingredients to source in the UK".0

Weird... must just be us crazy Aussies then. They aren't super common, but its not unusual to see them on the menu (particularly the seniors menu) at pubs and RSLs.0 -

"Crumbed"...is that similar to either ground or minced meat?0 -

To be fair, in this country sheep's, lamb's, or anything's head hasn't been popular since rationing ended in the fifties. Shame, because brain is one of the nicest things I've tasted.0 -
You could probably google how much a lamb brain weighs and just log it as fat.0

In East London, I can pick up all kinds of exotic ingredients very easily. I'm blessed with a multicultural smorgasbord of shops.0 -

The fat content is quite high, but not that high.0
