Cool I give it a shot!!

Ok, thanks. I'll look into that and yea I was only really looking for estimates because I'll only be eating things like this (and very occasionally at that) when I'm bulking where the calories aren't as precious. It's just nice to know things like this can be worked into counting calories. Awesome.

TavistockToad, Idk I found those where inaccurate like when I searched for this specific pasta I had the cooked entry was like outrageously high/inaccurate. Just my personal experience.

I see, so you add your fiber to the carbs on things you've added from Australia because they leave them out? How do you do this? If you don't mind :)

I also have another question. Basically all of the produce I have is added from the food data base. Everything I have the nutritional label on I make sure is accurate. But like I buy my chicken from like the supermarket where they package them with no nutritional labels. How should I go about tracking such things? Also,…

Yea I think the Fiber was messing with it. Like for example this apple I have on my diary today is from the database, I didn't enter it in so the fiber will be included in the carbs. But like this wholegrain bread I added won't because it's from New Zealand where they don't. But they factor the fiber into the total…

Mutantspicy could you please elaborate on editing your food entries and saving them in your meals? I'm not sure what you mean.

Alright that's great info guys. So I'll hit my minimums and leave the rest of the calorie counting to the app.

Alright. The only thing is though that concerns me is the calorie rounding. That's why I've always imagined calculating your calories via your macro nutrients to be more consistent than overall calories, is that wrong thinking? It's why I've used the approach of px4,fx9,cx4, just wondering if that's flawed.

If that's the case that makes a lot sense because I was tallying up carbs, protein, fat. If the calories from fiber are not included in the carbs then they would be unaccounted for. Which makes sense as to why the calories would be more than my calculations. Fiber is two calories per gram, correct?
-
Oh I see, I'm in New Zealand, I'm pretty sure they do that here. Does that mean the calories from the fiber of the product are included in the total calorie amount but not listed as carbs?
-
What do you mean use all total carb entries and change them if I have to?
