1 peanut M&M is 10.3 calories  

Another way would be to weigh your m&m in grams and log it. Select peanut m&ms and change the units from quarter cups to grams and enter the grams you measured. Every m&m will be slight different. Realistically, Sherrye's number is close enough. 

FitClick says 1/4 cup of peanut M&Ms equals 18 pieces. So divide the calories for 1/4 cup by 18. Their data says 12.2 calories per piece. 

Thank you all 

I weigh everything. I used cups and they drove me nuts!! Nothing fit exactly!! So glad you asked this question!! Sometimes you just want one!! 

bgr12, thank you and I do the same I weigh and measure everything so if it goes in my mouth I log it so I had one m&m so I figured out how to log it! Lol 

I put in peanut m&m's the serving was 10 pcs so I put in .10. hopefully that help 🙂 

I weigh everything too. if it's not worth weighing then it goes in the NOPE category. I just can't ignore it. there's no more lying to myself. I'm with you. one peanut M&M counts. you're not crazy. haha!! *or we both are, lol 😆 (but yeah, just use grams) 

Nope, you're not crazy. I weigh everything also but I do what marialuisa5 suggested on a lot of foods. 

I also do the same thing - I find the closest amount and divide that by amount that I used - and I log everything - even if is a !/8 teaspoon - since I am great at adding things - just a bit here and there. Well - you are either serious about it or not. 

If the portion size is 20 parts - and you use one part - put in 1/20 or .05  

You can also switch the unit of measurement to grams and enter as little as 1g of weight. 

Gastropod way ahead of me…👍🏻 

Brenda, I think the more prominent question on everybodys mind is, how the heck were you able to limit yourself to just one!!?? I eat those things by the fistfuls! 😂🤣😂🤣 

LooseButton, it wasn't that hard for me I really don't like peanuts the only thing I did was just suck the chocolate off then throw the peanut away.lol 

1 peanut 

If you are still searching - I entered your M&M into the food plan list - it came up under --- "M&M peanut" - one out of 20 pieces in their portion - enter as 1/20 - that worked.
