I actually made a double batch of my pasta sauce... But, most of it is destined for the freezer. My chicken meatballs yielded 60 (weight of chicken was determined by total weight less weight of bowl).

I had to look up all the nutritional information and do you know what?
It was time consuming...
And, not fun...
And, it involved math.
I am not a friend to math.
Plus, you can probably guess what the end result was - I was totally surprised by all the values. Apparently, I know very little about nutritional information.
I think I need a program where I can enter what I eat and then the program does all the work. I need to educate myself.
Know any good programs?
I'm going to go read some other blogs and see what everyone is using.
Hi Kelly Rae! I saw your comment on Kathy's Journal blog and decided to say hi. I have also just started my weight loss journey and wanted to find some ladies to share together :)
ReplyDeleteI dont know much about nutritional information either. Ive just started with a dietician for some help. Maybe we can give each other some tips :)
I also love that you have other stuff here, like your play list. Although my blog is still new, I definitely want to play around with it. Im finding it helpful to express what Im feeling, and share other things about myself.
Hope you have a good week!
