Hey Ella, I hear you on not finding exactly a food item when logging...my suggestion is to pick a calorie number for a similiar item that is not always at the low end and is approximately (as best you can guess) "close enough". Even the published #'s for the food items are just close averages. Getting our portion size right is probably more important...we all (myself included) probably underestimate our intake at times, but in the end tracking really does help to determine what trends work in the long run. Good luck!!

I agree with Steven. Also, for home cooking...If it is an dish I make at home regularly. I make note of every single ingredient. I look up the nutritional content for each ingredient. After cooking I portion it out. Weighing or measuring as necessary. I divide the total nutritional content numbers by the amount of servings. I then know exactly what I am eating. You can then add it to the menu list so you will never have to itemize and calculate again as long as you stick to the same recipe. It's a little bit of a bother but worth it for dishes you make often.

2426girl, thank you for the advice! I am a newbie here, so will try to take all this into account ;) although there is a certain problem, as I often try out new stuff, but for sure there are several meals that are on my table regularly
