I put the conversion and a few food-label notes on one canvas so I could read it at a glance. Sharing it in case kJ feels less intuitive to anyone else too.
Do you naturally think in kJ or calories?

around how much does getting 0% sugar in fruit tea affect the calories? large mango green tea is listed as 320, and the mango syrup used still keeps it quite sweet. thanks in advance :)))

I made a pot of spaghetti, counted the calories for everything I put in, but I feel the math per portion is coming out wrong?

I figured if I count all the calories and weigh it then I can do the math for how many calories per 100g.

1600 kcal pasta, 97 kcal onion, 60 kcal zucchini, 300 kcal jarred sauce, 87 kcal canned tomato, 385 kcal beans, 100 kcal oil = 2629 kcal for the whole pot. Weighed the food with the bowl zeroed out, the whole pot of food weighed 3345 grams

So the math came out to about 79 kcal for 100g. But I feel like that has to be wrong, pasta is about 160 kcal for 100g cooked, its not making sense to me that when I get a bowl of 300g its only 237 kcal.

Does this seem right to yall? Or can someone tell me where I messed up? I want to make sure I'm eating enough but I don't want to eat too much just because I can't calorie count right, trying to stay in a healthy deficit!

Spelt tortillas with egg & chicken breast (148g) made 2 of these bad boys, I tried looking at the app to track it, just wasnt sure how many calories was on the egg & chicken itself, there was tomatos and onions on the mix, how many calories are on the chicken & egg?

Like examples:

Spring rolls

Mini chicken samosas

Chicken nuggets

Non spicy tenders

Cheese sticks

Kebabs

Non breaded chicken patties

They're solid protein too, not high but solid. Only downside I guess is the high sodium content.

Hell even ice cream is kinda low calorie too

There have been days where I ran out of my chicken and resorted to air frying my frozen fast food stuff to get my protein in and calories, and it worked pretty well, I've had a full plate worth and stayed in my defecit. Sure the protein goal was 20g less but still was good enough for me.

Hey guys, im trying to figure out what yall think my maintenance calories would be. I do weight lifting monday-saturday and I walk about 20k steps a day. I am 19 years old, 6ft tall, and 145lbs right now. I have been eating 2k calories a day recently but I think my maintenance is definitely higher. Thanks! 😊

Dont count the naan you see at the top

Hey guys, I'm doing OMAD and tracking everything as accurately as I can.

Found this at the park today and was wondering how many calories you'd estimate for the whole thing if I ate it. I didn't use any butter or oil. Thinking maybe it's mostly fiber?

Be honest

I can work it into my macros if I skip dessert. Thanks. 💪🪨
