Logging food

I'm on soft foods and I don't know if it is because I'm bad at math I am having difficult times putting my food portion in my fitness pal. I need some tips for that to make it easier for me . sometimes I don't want to eat because it is too much trouble.

What kinds of things are you eating? If you can give some examples, I am sure people can provide more specific help.

Things that I find helpful: most foods on MyFitnessPal have adjustable serving sizes/types, which will include "100 grams." If I weigh my food (for example, chicken breast) and know that I am eating 40 grams of chicken breast, I use the "100 grams" serving portion and say that I ate .40 of a serving. If I ate 56 grams, it's .56 of the 100 grams serving portion.

If I am using percentages (for example, if 100 grams is not available as a serving size), a lot of the time I use this calculator to help me figure out portion sizes:

The second calculator is really helpful. If I have a tuna packet that has 2.6 ounces, I might weigh out 2 ounces because I don't want to eat the whole thing. The second calculator will tell me that 2 is 76.9% of 2.6, and then I can enter my serving portion of MyFitnessPal as .769 of a tuna packet.

My food scale and the calculator are the two things I use the most to help me calculate serving sizes. Good luck!

It helps to weight or measure my food. Do you have a food scale and measuring cups and spoons?
