How to enter ingredients count in recipe?
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?
