I think I'm going to join you for a week in doing this as my BS is acting oddly well that or my BGM is wonky.

Anyway, how do you get your nutrition figures? Yesterday as part of a salad lunch I had half a shaved fennel bulb. How would I find the figures for that?
Thanks

I get my nutrition figures from my NutraCheck app. It tells me that 100gm raw fennel is 12 cals and 1.8gm carbs. So I would put a clear bowl on my digital scales, set to zero, add my fennel to record the weight, then enter the actual weight into my app. It only takes a matter of seconds. I no longer weigh my above ground veggies, because I have learned their portion sizes. The app will offer different choices as well, for example a small tomato, a medium tomato, per slice, 50gm, 75gm 100gm and always by weight.

Out last night with family and nearly forgot to take a pic. I always take a pic of my food, it's so interesting. It was Portugese but seemed Greek to me. Lamb Kleftico with potatoes and other stuff I didn't know what to do with. 🙂
