Hellobee Boards

I enter mine in ingredient by ingredient, which seems to take forever -- but the recipe function in most of those programs really helps like @MerryC said!

I usually guessimate. I always have a good idea of what is going into my dinner meals, so I read the cal counts for the ingredients, add them up, and do a 'add calories only' thing for the meal. For going out to eat, I do what @MerryC does and go by the middle entry, or what has the most confirmations.

For stuff you eat pretty frequently, myfitnesspal has a meal creator where you can save meals, saves time if you eat the same thing a lot!

i total the calories of each ingredient as i cook and divide that by how many servings i decide it makes. (very tedious but it makes feel better that it's accurate) i then do a "quick add" on my fitness pal.
