Agreed - Always enter the 'raw' version of the food if you've cooked it yourself - Fitday assumes all sorts of stuff if you enter it as 'cooked'

Just a note about quantities - I've personally found in the last couple weeks that I plan & measure & weigh - then put a 'portion' on my plate, and eat every bite without thinking about wether I'm still hungry. I just consider it 'what I am allowed' (and feel rather entitled to it). Sometimes I don't NEED that much food to feel satisfied. I really have to re-train my brain to eat what I NEED rather than what I WANT or what's ALLOWED.
