Ok... so how do others get on when working out how much Protein etc they are eating if you are making up a huge pot of eg spag bolg , Soup or casserole?..

if the ingredients are NOT measured to begin with. How do we know per serve what we are actually getting?...

this has been a question of mine for years lol.

I just guess-timate!...

how do others do it?.

I do weigh and measure everything, then I portion it into servings. Myfitnesspal does the calculating for me

Because I'm cooking for a family with 6 or 7 and me it makes it difficult to measure what the others willl eat.

Some like a shit load more and some like less.

If I was just cooking for me of course I would measure.

I use my fitness pal to track what I eat. They have a recipe section, that you can use to input the food that you make/ by servings. It will then break down the calories and other important facts for you

Is it possible to do a large pot for the family and a small, measured pot separately at the same time? That way you can leave out any carby additions as well as knowing how much of each ingredient you are getting.

Sure, you are in control of what you cook and can do anything you want.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
