    Did you weigh how much chicken? then just put each of those things (chicken, peas, mushroom, and butter) into your diary individually.

    No I didn't weigh the chicken ...I ended about having about 5 or 6 small pieces of the meat...about baby finger size, and thanks for the help:)

    If you put all of the pieces together, would they be about the size of a deck of cards? If so, I would say 3 ounces and adjust more or less depending on the amount of chicken. That's what I would do.

    That only sounds like 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup of chicken meat to me. Yes I would log the veges individually also

    Log everything individually...you can log 1 chicken leg...not like you eat the bones/tendons normally anyway...

    If it is something you may make often, give it a name and log the recipe in and you will always have it. I find that easier than always doing the individual log ins.

    it was my first time making it, I was surprised at how good it tasted, will probally have it once a week or once every two weeks...funny how just throwing things together tastes so good...I am a terrible cook :)

    measure everything so you know how much it is. Make a recipe with the food items. And give it a name. Then when you make it all you have to do is look it up under your recipes and put it in your diary.

    You may have to do some fractions to get the amount of food you are using. Like if the lowest amount of chicken you can find is 1/2 a piece and you are using less then that you may have to pick 1/2 a piece and use fractions to get the amount you are really using.

    Make sure to put dark meat chicken since it is from a leg.

    Why is everyone making it so difficult?

    "You have to weigh it"
    "Is it the size of a deck of cards?"

    .....it's a chicken leg! Search for chicken leg and enter 1 chicken leg. Eating "the meat" from a chicken leg is no different than eating a chicken leg...it should be logged the same way.

    I had to laugh a little because everyone seems to be ignoring you, and you have the most obvious correct answer. LOL.

    I don't log my morning coffee...I should I guess...I drink 1-2 cups..with 1 tsp sugar and 1% milk...and I drink water all day long and the occasional glass of orange juice or a glass of milk...I guess I need to log those...95% of what i drink is water though.
    For a couple of days I wasn't eating much...upset that my best friend is in ICU at hospital...but she is better now and is going home after the weekend.:)
