I see you have chicken buffalo salad a lot. Can you share how you make it?

Thank you!

From AV:

9-ish oz. chicken breast.  I usually poach and shred my own, but the Purdue shortcuts and canned work, too.

2 oz. crumbled bleu cheese (by the deli)

1/2 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch.  If I don't have this I use garlic powder/dill/onion powder 

small (5.3 oz) container plain Greek yogurt

chopped onion and celery, S&P to taste

As many glugs of Frank's Red Hot as you want

This works out to about five 4oz. servings at 132 calories and 20 grams of protein per.

I am wondering what I am doing wrong. I made this recipe tonight and when I ran my stuff through my fitness pal it only said 11 proteins. I did cut mine into 6 servings but I used more chicken.

Hmmm...I'm not sure.  This is what I get on MFP; I use a 1 oz. serving size and multiply x 4:

Whoa, that's a mess!  LMAO  Anyway, it's 33 calories and 5 grams of protein per 1 oz. serving.

it's possible I am not eating 4 oz. I am only eating half a cup. If I doubled my portion it would be more like yours nutrition wise. I bet that is it. I made 6 potions out of your recipe, I used a 12 oz can of shredded chicken because I have some I am trying to use up.

Do you have a food scale?  I highly recommend.

I do have one. I weighed all the ingredients, or scanned if I could, then it asks how many servings and I put in 6 because that is what i measured it into. 

I am kind ofnew to fitness pal but that would seem the right way to do it. 

 

The after care in my program sucks so I learn everything I can here.
