Steps
Is there a way I can manually enter my step count to calculate calories? Either here or an app? I lost my fitbit and just got a pedometer and want to add the steps to my diary.

How to accurately weigh frozen lasagna?
So I'm making frozen lasagna tonight and don't know how to accurately weigh it since is comes in the pan and I can't weigh that separately and once cooked the lasagna would weigh different anyway. Nutrition says 1/4 of tray (227g) is 300 calories. I like to be as accurate as possible thanks.

Weighing Hamburger helper
Ok so now that I can eat normally again (pregnancy) I have a major craving for hamburger helper. I'm not interested in weighing everything individually. I just want a general weight I guess. My lean found beef is roughly a pound (we bought 3 pounds and divided it) and I'll be measuring the milk with cups. Anyway on mfp it…

Weiguing food in bulk

I made a ham yesterday that raw weighed 1110g and cooked it weighed 920g. 100g raw is 100 calories. How do I figure out calories for cooked for the same amount? cuz I know a single serving is now…

Last question about weighing food
OK so I'm making a stir fry for supper. Do I weigh everything raw (chicken rice and frozen veggies) and eye all 4 servings. I ask cuz I know rice will weigh more after and chicken will weigh less. Thanks!

How do you figure out calories
So I got a food scale today and am weighing veggies right now. It says 85g (1/2 cup) is 70 calories. I have 120g. But when I scan the bag onto MFP it only let's me go by cups. I'm horrible at math lol so how do I figure this out and fire problems like this? Thanks!

Estimating homemade chilli calories
So I'm making chilli tonight and was wondering how I can estimate the calories. I don't weigh food just count calories and estimate and it's working for me. So should I calculate the total number of calories for the entire chilli and estimate calories based on what i eat?

Late supper=weighing more in morning?
I've always weighed myself in the morning but lately have found my weight stalling. But then the last 2 days I've also weighed myself at night and I weigh less! Could having a late supper (8-9pm) be the cause of this? I eat late because my husband doesn't get home till late. When I weigh myself in the morning it's always…

I just learnt that if u are tracking calories and starting to work out u can actually temporarily gain weight in the beginning due to water retention repairing your muscles...
