Wow I always was overwhelmed by tracking my homemade meals because it seemed so daunting, but this method makes it seem so much easier. Thank you!
This is so helpful!
I got tired of making 2 seperate meals for my partner and I because I’m tracking all my foods but my partner isn’t.
This feature is a life saver!
This helped me so much! I used to dread having to track my cals for homemade meals, but this helps so much! Thank you! You're a life saver 😊
This is the content I've been scouring the internet to find! This makes MyFitnessPal SOOOOOOOOOO much more manageable! Thank you!
omg i just started logging food and was struggling so hard with recipes since im cooking for 2 people. this is a genius little work around, thanks!
Been wondering about this actually!!! I look forward to watching your videos every Monday and Thursday 😊
Ummm I was having this problem last night with my beans dish I do! You answered all my questions! Thank you! The timing was perfect. Love you!
This was so super duper helpful!!!! I stopped making recipes because I had no idea how to log them.....thanks for this!!!!
Thank you! Very helpful and straight to the point!
AHH! Thank you for this! Sooo helpful when making a batch of something that you don't want to separate into several bowls, like Tuna Salad, etc. I'm back to using MFP for the first time in a couple years and was feeling a little frustrated trying to enter recipes. This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! And now I need to go find that Buffalo Chicken recipe! 😊
Ah, such a great tip! I hated having to try and portion shit out as evenly as possible. Thank you!! I'm going to do this tonight for my dinner. 😊
THANK YOU for simplifying this. I’ve seen several videos about tracking recipes that weren’t this clear. Just last night I was tracking my first recipe and I forgot an ingredient and didn’t know how to edit it so I gave up and ate trackless. Now I know I can go back and edit it! So glad Ive been following you or I wouldn’t have seen this! ❤️
Do you track meat the same way? Just weigh after? I’ve been weighing it raw then weighing it cooked and logging that way. Is that necessary?
This was amazingly helpfull thank you so very much for this awesome tip. Cant believe I havent seen anyone else do it like that.
Thank you so much for this video, so helpful !!💕💕
Wow this is such a game changer, I've been eating simple easy to log foods because I was so tired of logging every little things in MFP, but this makes SO much sense. Ty ty!
Needed this inspo today! Have been verrrrry slack since my wedding
Thank you. I have never understood how to do this before. So easy once you know 😀😀
This was so helpful, I'm tracking but the rest of my family are not. We still make family meals though and sometimes I've found it so confusing to figure out what my portion is. Thank you 😊
So helpful! Thank you!🙏🏾
This is the most helpful video I’ve ever found about mfp. This is why I never wanted to track calories before because I always make homemade meals but never knew how to do this!
This was so helpful just started my weight loss journey and using my fitnesspal and was about to quit..thanks for this tutorial
I’ve been waiting for a video like this my whole life😮
This was really helpful. Thank you!
THANK YOU THIS WAS SO HELPFUL
Works like a charm!!!!! Cheers
Makes sooooo much sense now! Ugh but now I gotta go back and make some changes to old recipes 😩
Ahhhh!! thank you so much!!
Thanks for the great info. 😁👍
This is so helpful thank you sm
Love the hair..!! 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
THANK YOU! I have five children and a husband to cook for and I was becoming discouraged. Most content creators tend to focus on meal prepping for 1 person and I just don't have the time for that. I wanted to give up until I found this video.
Thanks! Just saved my life😂
THANK YOU!!!!’
Thank u!!🎉
I learned how to do this from you in the past ! Been doing it for so long now so thank you !
This is exactly how I've been doing my recipes for years and it's great 👍
Hi , so I have a question. When you log in the individual ingredients do u measure everything out in grams or whatever the lable reads like tsp, ml ect?
@@Nakiyo11 I try to add solid ingredients in grams because I find it more accurate, but liquids I tend to do in ml :)
@@SweeetLife okay so you know weigh all your ingredients in grams and then once it's done cooking weight the entirely of the recipe?
@@Nakiyo11 yea, I weight everything as I'm adding it in (because I'm doing all the nutrition as uncooked) , then cook it and weight the whole thing when it's finished and set the portion size to the same as what the whole dish weigh. So if the whole dish weighs 513 grams then I will put the recipe to have 513 portions.
Then when it's time to eat I weight out how much I want, so if I weigh out 67grams I will add 67 portions to MFP
@@SweeetLife okay thank you.
Okay, I’ve been using myfitnesspal for years & have only just realised after watching this video that I can edit the recipes after they’ve been originally saved 🙈
SAME!
When you add the ingredients, and let’s say I’m using the entire 109 oz of turkey, do I need to change the number to that or use what the single serving shows?
So then for example if I was meal prepping for a week. I would just serve the food into each individual container and I’ll have the same calories if they are all the same amount of grams?
I literally do this with everything I meal prep. It works for veggies and rice too?
It definitely is but people ask me on a weekly basis
How do you track homemade Juicing in MyFitnessPal? I've tried adding a few things, and It looks like I'm eating them raw instead of consuming only the juice.
I'm using the pulp in muffin's instead of tossing it, but I'm finding just as hard tracking my muffins as well due to the pulp (fiber).
Any thoughts or suggestions?
What about it being cooked would you have to change it accordingly ?
when manually adding the ingredients would i put the weight of raw chicken breast and then continue to the rest of the method cook the dish weigh it then edit the weight on the recipe?
Where did you get the 963 from? Is that the weight of the whole thing after cooking and putting in the sauce? Or was that supposed to be the weight of the cooked chicken only?
How can I get this recipe you shared? Thanks
If baking, do you measure the final amount of dough raw to enter in the servings?
No cooked, since you're going to be using the cooked servings when you take it out to eat. Same concept.
Come here to look for this question!
So do you measure the individual ingredients in grams or whatever the container says to measure it in?
I personally do in grams
Would this work for pasta and rice conversions from raw to cooked too?
Pasta and rice double! but yes.
I kind of get it but I don't understand how that equaled to 963 if in the measurements it said that one ingredient was 170 grams and another was 936 wouldnt all that have weighed to be more altogether?
Makes sense but, when you actually try to do it changing serving size changes the amount of food. 🍲
What do you mean? You change the serving size to however many grams the full amount weighed.
Say if ur on ur 3rd day eating from the same bowl and you decide to add cheese i dont think you can edit the old menu because that will stuff up the old macros right?
Correct, so just add cheese as it’s own entry
@@SimplyMander nice thank you for clearing that up
Wow‼️you look beautiful.
This method doesn’t account for the chicken being input raw but now it’s cooked, right?
Bentley clocking out from his shift 😂
What top are you wearing?
lululemon
Recipe?
This doesn’t seem to be working for me. It doesn’t let me edit the recipe when I add it to my day. Did the app change?
Hmm, do you have the free version?
Does it matter if you log the chicken breast as cooked or raw? Thanks!!
I believe you log every thing raw
@@youknowihype4978 Thanks for the response! Doesn't that change the weight and nutritional value?
It changes weight when it's cooked - so you need to enter everything raw first, then the final amoujnt of servings you weigh cooked.
Where did you get the 963 grams from ? I’m so confused 😐 please help
the total weight!
How do you know how many grams is a serving ?
You weigh the entire thing in grarms. So whatver you end up using for your particular serving, the app automatically does the calculation for you!
The math is kinda interesting because it’s asking how many people you’re serving and then calculating the calories and macros based off of what we’ve already input.
So we’re serving “50 people” according to the app, but we are seeing it as 50 grams😅 I’m not so sure the calorie count would actually be accurate if the app is calibrated that way? And it’s usually based off a 2000 cal intake in recipes regardless if your own is set differently I’ve noticed.. it can give a deceptive micro percentage because of that.
Its not a bad app for being free but it really should have a more specific and convenient feature so that we can create and save our recipes but actually be able to individualise our own servings easily, instead of having to go in and out and edit it each time or constantly measure out each ingredient for each meal, every time.
This video was really insightful thoigh so thanks so much 😊 It’s not 100% specific but it seems like it’s more accurate than saying 4 servings and then adding 1 to the dashboard and having an approximate. Assuming that the app’s calibration works out that way.. gonna have to do some manual math analysis to figure out if doing it that way is actually accurate.
I have looked into another way though of tracking bulk foods or food with multiple ingredients and if you just use the meal feature instead of the recipe, you don’t have to go back and edit it.
You can just create your meal as you would a recipe, and when you add it to your dashboard you can adjust how many grams you’re eating without having to go back and edit it like the recipes, just another suggestion.
It might be worth looking into how accurate the math truly is and then making another similar video with the meal hack. I know a lot of people would appreciate advice on the technicalities of it all. Hopefully this comment helps out too 🤞🏻
The calorie/macro counnt is per GRAM. Even though yes, the app sees it as "person", when you're creating it per grams, then you have to weigh it out in grams in order for it to be as accurate as possible!
@@SimplyMander Cronometer seems more accurate imo, been using mfp for years but now trying Cronometer, has a more detailed breakdown of micros so it’s good if your deficient and it’s more accurate with the food scanning and tracking than mfp and you don’t have the issue with the whole recipe logging. Just another option. Mfp has been around for years but it’s just not as accurate as updated apps
did your dog just open the door raptor style 😅😂
For the recipe, did you only put the cooked chicken weight or the raw chicken weight? I’m trying to figure out my math is not working for my recipes
OMG I don’t know why I can’t get this right. Is it because I measured things in g and cups…
U track everything cook already ??
Leave it to Myfitness pal to mess it up. Mine puts totals for the complete serving instead of dividing it by the number of grams used each meal.
Oh my goodness I just got so mad when it didn’t save my recipe when I was done.. gotta warn people you have to hand write all the details just incase.
Oh man that stinks! I've never had that happen to me!
Good lord, I clicked on this because I saw "logging recipes" and thought like, recipes for loggers or logging trees🤦
I was like, ooh, tree related recipes I wanna see???
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
Did every step and this still doesn’t make sense. I changed my serving to 800 and it said I was consuming 25,000 calories. I hate this app.
you have to make the serving to how much it weighed. If it weighed 800 grams, then the serving size needs to be 800. If it's saying 25,000 calories, that's probably not correct and something you entered for the ingredients was wrong.
I am having the same issue too trying to figure out how to fix this 😔
Okay I think I somewhat understand. But I do have a question please. I’m currently trying to meal prep for myself rn. (First time) I have three raw chicken breasts totaling 736g. If I was to do this method. Do I weigh everything after I cook it? Cause rn now I have “Serving size: 1g / number of servings 736g.” Then when I click confirm ingredients it ask how many people does it serve? I put 736” but I haven’t cooked it yet so should I weight to cook the chicken before adding that or? 🥲
Correct - you need to weigh everything out after you cook it, because it wouldn't be 736g as the serving because the weight changes when you shrink!! so you need to first put the serving size as 1, and then cook it, and then change it to the TOTAL weight fo the cooked chicken!
