help! with counts

Hello All...I am trying to figure out my bean soup I made...I went to fit day and it gives me counts for soup made w/rice or potatoes adn vegies. All mine has in it is Navy Beans and onions, left over ham bone w/small amount of ham and water and spices. Help...does anyone have counts for this? Thanks...Joan M

when i have recipes... I figure the nutritional information of the entire amount of food and then divide by the number of servings. This is another reason why measuring and weighing stuff is important too. Does that make sense? For instance... if you used 2 cups of beans, 1 whole onion, and say 1 lb of ham, take the nutritional information for 2 cups of beans, 1 whole onion, and 1 lb of ham and then divide those numbers by the number of servings it will provide. Hope that helps. april

Duhhhhh...like In know that but then I am using 2lb bag of beans and not sure if there was even a lb meat on the bone...probably only 1/2...I will try to figure it out...thanks so much for your help..then I can enter it one time on fitday and then save it....now can you teach me how to use our new lapbook...I am good typist but my fingers don't know where to go on this small keyboard...I am too old for this!!! In His love, Joan M good thing there is backspace or you wouoldn't have been able to read this !!!!!

Hi Joan, try going to this web site www.sparkpeople.com you can join for free and they have a recipe calculator which you can put in ingredients, amounts, number of servings and then it calculates calories and nutrition per serving. Here is a recipe I have used, it is from weigh****chers I have not had any problem having one of these once in a while. Fiber Muffins 2 cups fiber one cereal 1 1/4 cup 1 % milk 1/4 cup egg substitute 2 cups unsweetened applesauce 1 cup flour 1/3 cup splenda brown sugar 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 cup cranraisens Soak fiberone cereal in milk, brown sugar, egg and applesauce mixture for 10 minutes. Then mix remaining ingredients in till moistened. Pour into muffin tin. Makes 12 muffins. Bake at 400* for 20 minutes. Keep refrigerated or freeze individual servings. each muffin is approximately 127.3 calories total fat 0.8 g carbs 30.5g fiber 6 g sugar 12.7 protien 3.4 g Also if you want you can add 1 scoop plain protien powder to mixture this would increase protien up to 5 g for each muffin and calories would be 133.9 per muffin I haven't tried it with the protien powder myself but I have used it other recipes. Also if you prefer you could skip cranraisens and not put any fruit in or you could use some other dried fruit you like. If you skip the fruit it would decrease the carbs and sugar some. Hope you like them. Sher
