I just had some on my last break. I dice up some tomato and some green pepper and mix with pinch of salt and black pepper.

O I didn't Wright that someone else's did. My question was. Is the one cup 190 or the 50g 190?

Believe it or not I just learned this lesson this morning. It says one cup of cereal 50g 190 calories. I weighed one cup and it was 75g! So is a cup 190 calories or is 50g's 190 calories? If the latter that's truly depressing as that is not a bowl of cereal. I don't trust labels at all. They often don't scan in the same…

Recipes that don't have weight as a serving but as cups and ect... how do you go by weight?

Alright think I understand it all and been doing it right then. Thought I was doing it wrong. What about frozen food? Do you weigh it after you cook it or before? Have a problem figuring that out like label say so many oz for a serving I measure it before I cook it is that wrong?

Sorry about straying away from the question just poped in my head. I do weigh my stuff out. Just thought maybe there was another way people were figuring out what the weight and serving sizes were and that the labels were wrong. So if a package says 3oz is a serving and I measure 3oz I'm doing it right then?

Mfp says I need to be at 1500 calorie diet I tend to be under by alot like 900 or 1000. And if I exercise should I eat till I'm at 1500 or would I be good. Like say if i ate 1500 calories and exercised and burned 1000 I would be at 500 calories now do I eat all that back till I'm at 1500?

I'm 5'7 I am now 218 week ago I was 228 and goal right now is 170.

If you can't go by the package then how do you know how many calories your eating or weighing and how much should you weigh out for things?

Yea quick adds were bc I didn't have time to search for the food so I just put in the calories for it. Whats a caloric deficit? I did lose 9lbs the first week.
