I'm trying to figure out how to enter a recipe ingredient count into MyPlan. It looks to me like the only way is to figure out all the totals first and then put it in as a Custom Food. Right?

Or is there a site where you can just enter the ingredients and then it calculates the totals?

I just made Almond Bread, for instance, with 1 1/4 C almond flour, 2 eggs, 1/2 tsp baking powder and 2 TB butter.

I ate 3/8 of it.

According to the package, 1/4 cup is 14 g fat, 6 gm carb, 3 gm fiber, 6 gm protein.

My recipe used 5 quarter cups so that is 5 times the above: 70 gm fat, 30 gm carb, 15 gm fiber, 30 gm protein, 800 calories for the almond meal in the whole recipe.

So I ate: 26.25 gm fat, 11.25 gm carb, 5.625 gm fiber, 11.25 gm protein, 300 calories in just the almond meal.

I still have to calculate the butter and eggs but I usually just enter them individually, and the computer figures it out. I can add them separately and then just calculate the percentage, but is there an easier way to do this?

From the MyPLAN Info and FAQ sticky (at the top of this forum):

HTH. Keep asking if you are still confused.

I read that sticky and followed those directions, fooled around with it for quite a while, but just didn't get it. With fresh eyes, I think I've got it now. Thanks.
