Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / July 2004Do you know.. (Fitday question)
... under which category in FitDay I should put CEVAPCICI? It's a Slavic meat dish, actually meat balls (ground pork & beef), 1 piece = finger size, and they are grilled. I tried under meat balls, but all of those are cooked or in some kind of sauce or with spaghetti... These are plain, grilled, nothing is added. Thank you, Elly breastfeeding mom of a 9mo, following the balanced low carb WOE Mid July 2004: 195.8 / 192.5 / mini-goal by August 20th: 182.6 sometime in the (distant) future: 150 lbs > ... under which category in FitDay I should put CEVAPCICI? > It's a Slavic meat dish, actually meat balls (ground pork & beef), 1 piece = > finger size, and they are grilled. > > I tried under meat balls, but all of those are cooked or in some kind of > sauce or with spaghetti...

But meatloaf is significantly different, it's made of much more stuff that those things are... I'll try to get a recipe and then enter it in the custom food section...

You mean, meatloaf is bigger in size than those little balls?It would seem that meatloaf is made of the same ingredients, if so, you can probably use the same weight of meatloaf? > I'll try to get a recipe and then enter it in the custom food section... I guess that would work too, but would be more work... i > You mean, meatloaf is bigger in size than those little balls? No, I mean that the ingredients are different...

If you are using the online version, do what Ig mentioned in his post... Matty > If you have the PC program, you should be able to put in the ingredients and > portion size and it will calculate the calories for you. I don't have the PC progam, but even if I did, I wouldn't be able to customize it since I had it in the restaurant and don't know what all the ingredients are (there are a lot of spices, or so it seems...). >If you are using > the online version, do what Ig mentioned in his post... Meatloaf is much different than this stuff... Maybe I'll find the recipe somewhere and then customize it in the FitDay... Thank you both for the suggestions!

Years ago there was a site where one could enter a recipe and it would calculate the protein, fat, calories etc, for you. Was it called Mealmaster, or something like that?

FitDay (www.fitday.com) would do that for me (the custom food section), but I need the recipe first ;-) Elly breastfeeding mom of a 9mo, following the balanced low carb WOE Mid July 2004: 195.8 / 191.4 lbs / mini-goal by August 20th: 184.8 to 187 lbs sometime in the (distant) future: 150 lbs >> Years ago there was a site where one could enter a recipe and it would >> calculate the protein, fat, calories etc, for you.

SignatureAnnabel Smyth mailto:annabel@amsmyth.demon.co.uk http://www.amsmyth.demon.co.uk/index.html Website updated 18 July 2004 >how do you enter your recipe, please? I enter all the ingredients and the quantities for the specific meal (as if it were the next day, it's easier that way) in the Food section. FitDay calculates the total of calories, fat, etc. I then divide those (total) numbers by the number of portions for that meal, and then enter those numbers in "new food" in the custom food section. Then I go back and delete all the ingredients I've entered previously. This is the way to create the nutritional data for your recipes.

But it's nearly impossible sometimes to determine what you have eaten! For instance, last night we had chicken and noodles - stir-fried vegetables with chopped cooked chicken added, and some low-fat instant noodles that I'd made up according to the instructions which I stirred in at the very end of cooking. But even were I to weigh out the portion I ate, which I didn't, how do I know what the relative proportion of chicken, noodles, and vegetables that landed on my plate was?

I guess, just divide it by portions. I mean, you *must* know at least approximately, for example, if there was 1 chicken breast of too, the instant noodles' bag surely had the amount written somewhere, and you know which veggies you used and approximately how much... Then just divide all this by portions. This method works for me really well.

It's okay to just estimate :-). It comes out okay in the long run. Chris -- who has lost 119 lbs. by counting calories -- and estimating all over the place 262/143/ (145-150) |
