So last night my dad got me a Chinese and i got a dish called mushrooms and cashew nuts (vegeterain). And i got mushroom rice to go with it. How do I add this because I can't find it anywhere on myfitnesspal.

What do you do about takeaways if you have one

    I'd log Chinese vegetables, cashews and mushroom rice as 3 separate things.

    With restaurant and takeaway food you just have to give your best guesstimate if you dont know the calories. You'll get better at it the longer you weigh your food!

    I just eye the weight of veg/meat/rice etc on the plate, add about 1-3 tbsp of oil depending on what it looks like, the type of takeaway place etc, and a tbsp of mixed spices. Try to estimate the ingredients.
