Hi All,
So my new program is going well. I got down my lowest right before thanksgiving to 167lbs. But after spending the week at my moms and being a little lazy I am back to 171-170. Still under my beginning weight which is good. But I find I will track my food until dinner. I make dinner at home but so many ingredients and portions for my brother and BF, that I find it hard to track the calories.
Any suggestions? Do you guys just put the meal in here and then cut it into servings to figure out how much you are eating? I find it so tough to figure out calories when I cool recipes for dinner.

Best thing I did was buy a food scale. Weigh everything as you put it in the dish and Fat Secret has everything in OZ most of the time. http://www.tanita.com/en/consumer-kitchen-scales/

I use grams in measuring everything. I've found success in calculating the whole part of the meal I make as I make it (with practice this has gotten really quick), then I cut it down into portions using my food scale after its done. If I zero out a bowl and dump the whole part in, I have the weight of my meal, I write down what it is and then zero out my bowl/plate/container and put in my percentage that I have decided is a serving in. Here's a sixth, there's a sixth, that is four sixths, and it's just simple math at that point.
I keep my phone and a scratch pad close by to calculate as I go. Example: 120g(serving)/600g(total)=0.2servingxCaloric Total(that I calculated while putting the whole thing together)=what I'm eating.
If I don't like the numbers I end up with at the end, I reduce the serving size I've decided on. 😅 and at that point of the serving size seems too small do something like cut my serving size and replace it with something with a low caloric density but large volume, like spinach (if reasonable for the meal.)
I then still have the numbers handy later. (I always have leftovers that I need that for.)

@LunethDragon Thanks so much for this. I think at night the meals are more complex because I go cook more fancy at dinner for my brother and BF. So I get a little lazy tracking it all. I noticed I started to get sloppy with tracking and wouldn't put it into fat secret. This could possibly put me 100-200cal over my daily limit which is why my weight has stalled. Thanks for this. I am going to give your suggestion a try.

Often times my SIL is the one cooking dinner. I ask her what & how much of everything went into it & then plug it into the recipes here which will calculate the nutritional info in a serving for you.

My calculations on meals aren't all that accurate so I error on the high part. I made a meatloaf a week or two ago that would be 6-8 portions. I weighed the ground beef before cooking and the other ingredients included a can of cream of mushroom soup and about 1/2 cup of oatmeal (to keep it from falling apart). So I just guessed at the serving - 3/4 oz of beef a tablespoon or two of the mushroom soup, a couple tablespoons of oatmeal. There was also an egg in with the mix and I didn't count it - what's 1/7 of an egg anyway. It's so much easier when I make a one portion meal.
