Weighing Out Portions, Am I Doing It Right?
Hello Guys,
Pot weighs 1090g
All my food + pot weighs 2266g
2266-1090 = 1176g, total weight of my food.
Total calories on my food is 3847 calories.
I weighed out everything I placed in the dish.
I take out 250g from the above as a portion to which I think will fill me up.
Now, would 250g/1176g =0.2125853413605 give me my portion size?
If the above is true then my total calories for one portion is 819 calories.
Am I doing this right or is it wrong somewhere?
I am asking this because, if true one portion would have 80g protein but I don't find satiated compared to when I eat 80g of chicken breast.
Cheers.

Well it depends on the food because if the items in the pot aren’t uniform or evenly mixed but different portions will have different calories. But in general yes the math makes sense.

When I prep my food I will record the macros for the entire recipe and then portion it into meals. Then each time I have that meal I will add it to myfitnesspal and just divide the total recipe by the number of portions. It will even itself out over the week and is less time consuming and allow for greater adherence
