Tips for weighing and logging
Count seeds on bread separately unless they are already included in the bread record.
To calculate manually, multiply your portion weight in grams by 573 and divide by 100. For example, 15 g provides approximately 86 kcal.
When logging a photo, check the food, cooking method and estimated portion before saving. A photograph cannot reliably show hidden oil or exact weight.
