    How many grams of chicken is that?

    It doesn't appear to be high protein to me, but my daily goal is pretty high - 180 grams.

    So...log it in your Food diary and your question will be answered. We can't really answer that question.

    Did you weight that meat and those beans? Did you measure out the oil, or how is it cooked? Log all that.

    If it is 170 grams of chicken (assuming it's chicken breast) cooked, it's around 50g of protein. How "high" that it depends on what your daily goal is.

    What is a NO,past Tim's???

    I am assuming it is a typo but I can't guess what for and also that rest of sentence says she uncovered several food allergies??

    If you want to maintain your current weight, you do that by same method as losing weight ie correctly enter your stats and your activity level and set MFP to 'maintain current weight' and eat that many calories plus excercise calories.
    You can see the amount of macros in your food as you log them.
    Or pre log if you want to see in advance and then adjust. ( eg change meal to more meat, less beans )

    Ok one of the best things you can do for yourself is buy a digital food scale. Then measure everything solid or semisolid in grams and carefully measure the volumes of your liquids. This way you can input things accurately and thus know how close to your goals you are.
    Good luck and keep learning

    I have had chicken breasts that have been in the 250-300 g range.The best thing you can do is get yourself a kitchen scale, a good set of measuring spoons, and a good liquid measuring cup (the sets are all dry only). All can be purchased for a reasonable price at stores like Walmart and Amazon.
    • Weigh all solids and semi solids (like peanut butter or mayo).
    • Liquids can be measured but use liquid measuring cups, not dry.
    • Weigh things like pasta and rice when dry and use a dry weight entry
    • Weigh meat raw and use a raw weight entry.
    • Weigh stuff like meat with bones or fruit with inedible peels, eat, weigh the inedible part and subtract from the original weight.
