I have always loved cooking, but tracking has always stressed me out. Serving sizes are very confusing as well. I was feeling very confident because this is my first big batch that I’ve made with servings in mind. Ever since I started meal prepping i have avoided rice and pasta, but I’ve been craving spaghetti like a mad woman. I figured out a recipe and a serving size and weighed everything. I was so proud of myself for making my own thing and adding better ingredients…Now I’m upset and weirdly stressed because I wrote down the dry weight of the pasta but when I weighed everything I didn’t weigh the pasta by itself wet. Only the finished project w the sauce 😭. Ik it doesn’t matter calorie wise, but does it mean that I need to eat less? That what I have is inaccurate? Idk who is boiling one serving of pasta at a time so there has to be a way. Or should I focus on the servings? And as long as it’s divided p evenly by the 13.5 ( bc 13.7857143 was stressing me out and they wouldn’t let me add the decimals; and I can’t simplify it; and if I rounded up idk how much of a cup that is, so if you know that please help. Or lmk if you’d do the same. I stopped being good at math around more complex fractions 💀) it would be easier if I wasn’t sharing with my family and I could put it in 7 different containers but I don’t have the space. I tried googling it and it stressed me out even more because they started doing multiplication and it didn’t help me figure out how to track it. I just want to know is 13.5 oz close to 439 calories ??
