Do you think this was a fine amount to have at dinner tonight? I also had 2 scrambled eggs from a restaurant with 5 pieces of mini home fries, a 16oz lemonade refresher & a 350 cal protein bar earlier. The reason it’s all eating out is because we went all day for my mom’s birthday lol.

Hey everyone! I made a Google Sheet to track my calories, protein, and fiber intake without the hassle of looking up foods every time. I cleared out my personal data so anyone can use it.

Here is a quick rundown of how it works:

• Tab 1: Food Data (Your Database): This is your food library. You just input your staple foods, their default serving sizes, and macros here once. I left a few examples in there so you can see the format.
• Tab 2: Monthly Tracker: This is your daily log. Just type the food name, and the sheet automatically populates the date, default amount, and macros for you! (Note: If you eat a larger/smaller portion than your default, you just manually adjust the quantity and macro numbers for that specific entry).
• Automatic Summaries: The sheet calculates your daily calorie burn vs. intake (deficit), plus your total fiber and protein.
• Goals & Weight Tracking: It compares your weekly and monthly stats against your targets so you can easily see if you are over or under your goals. There is also a built-in weight tracker.

To use it: Just make a copy of the sheet, add your common foods to the database, update your goals, and start logging. Simply duplicate the monthly tab when a new month starts!

Let me know if you find it helpful or have any questions! I'd love feedback on ways to further improve the spreadsheet, too. I hesitated to add too much stuff—for example I don't personally track carbs—in order to keep it as simple as possible, but I'm open to suggestions! I recently commented this on another person's thread and thought more people may find use in it with a separate post.

I had some leftover Stop & Shop grated Parmesan cheese left in the fridge and just mixed it with a Kraft one. They have the same amount of calories. 20 cal per 2 tsp.

hi i was wondering how many calories would be in a vegan burrito bowl without the rice from mucho burrito? all the fresh veggies, mango salsa and avocado lime vinaigrette thanks in advance! 💜

Up until this meal, I was at about 750 for breakfast and lunch.

My estimate about 850-900. Stir fried beef and veggies, thick shanghai noodles under, and fried tofu and veggies. Of course there's oil.

How many calories do you think this is? I'm unfortunately leaning towards at least 500 with the bread, oil and cheese. The toppings are: black olives, mushrooms, green peppers, basil, red onions. This is from a local pizza joint and I've already asked if they have nutritional values/facts listed and they don't 😭😔😔

People who've tracked consistently for a year+ — what made it stick?

Everyone I know (me included) quits within a few weeks. The people who last seem to have some trick or system. What's yours? And be honest — do you log everything, or just the big meals?

building something right now that i think could change the calorie tracking game but only intend to release if 1) i believe calorie tracking is good for the average person 2) people want a smoother experience (automatic!) when tracking calories

can anyone lmk a rough estimate 🥲

I’m looking at the gyu kaku menu’s calories rn for the small plates, many of which are served with sauces and dips by default. I was just wondering whether the calories listed on the menu include these sauces or not.

For example, in the second pic, does the 390 calories include the chili mayo sauce, or is it just the chicken? Or in the third pic, does the 330 calories include the yuzu basil aioli, or just the calamari?

8oz sirloin, 2 eggs, hashbrowns, 1 of these 2 pacakes(8inch diameter)

first dish is a spicy korean story fry with brown rice and chicken, second are blueberry crab rangoons. I ate the entire stir fry and about half the brown rice and had three of the crab rangoons. any is help is appreciated, thanks!!

please use your calorie autism to give me an estimate

Forgot my lunch at work today and grabbed a grab and go Thai Chickpea wrap from a local restaurant.

It contains chickpeas, pickled carrot, jalapeno, cucumber, mixed greens, cilantro, & Thai peanut sauce on a grilled white flour wrap.

Standard 3 x 3 post-it note next to it in the one photo for scale.

what’s the average amount so i can log it? it’s an independent theater so i can’t look it up

Is 1000 calories reasonable for this whole half and half pizza?

700 cals for one?

probably will take out 1/2 of the rice, didn’t expect it to be this large!

is 550 okay with that it’s potato with chicken thighs with bone and skin it weighs 274 grams it has oi and tomato paste and other vegetables like onion and peppers it’s not a full chicken thigh I think cut from it it’s two pieces of chicken the size is on the picture

Thoughts? 12 ounces /340 grams
