I got a question about my fitness play. I've had it for a while but never really used it. Toddy I have shredded chicken mixed with avocado total of 1/2 cup. My question how do I know how much protein I just ate? I'm not good at this whole figuring out how much protein I ate.

You need to measure the ingredients separately and enter them. For example, 3 oz chicken breast & 1/8 avocado. As you enter the portion size for each you can see the grams of protein. Go to the home screen (mobile android) to see your daily protein intake.

If you out the serving size into MFP it will calculate the protein amounts for each item.

Thx the problem is it was avocado chicken salad that my wife made so I have no idea how much chicken or avocado was in the 1/2 cup I ate.

You're screwed! Sorry! You'll just have to guess-timate it. You can add recipes but you have to know each amount of each item in the salad, then MFP calculates each servings nutrients for you. Otherwise you'll just have to estimate xxx chicken xxx avocado xxx mayo and calculate each ingredient individually. This is where MFP is a pain on the butt.

This is the reason I don't use MFP as much as I should. Takes too much to measure and enter everything separately.

It's a pain in the butt,but I find it keeps me honest with myself. I would NEVER meet my Protein if I didn't log....I find most things I eat I can estimate on serving size after having measured for months..Things I eat often I've added to MFP. Some days, I just don't bother.
