![]() ![]() They’re all different sizes or shapes and weights, so you can’t count them out for accurate macros either. Things like almonds and macadamia nuts, sugar free chocolate chips, blueberries and diced or chopped onions don’t fit in a measuring cup right. It’s not just about the serving size, but also the unit of measure… I had to do the exact same double checking & math for my fresh & frozen blueberries, which I enjoy often – but in much smaller amounts than the typical serving size, since I eat those “in moderation” in my keto diet. ![]() That’s something else you want to double check, which I’ll show you in a second – along with how to log/track fresh produce that doesn’t have labels. ![]() Most of the entries for this product were WRONG in MyFitnessPal too. So I had to do a little figuring on how to enter this into MyFitnessPal, especially when I’m just going to add a tbsp to an omelet for example – or anything less than a full 2/3 cup serving. The serving size for these chopped onions is 2/3 cup though, which I wouldn’t use (unless it was in a larger recipe). I’m thinking: BBQ bacon onion burgers, spinach & cheddar omelets with sauteed onions, bacon & onion avocado cakes – and crustless quiche cups to start. Stay tuned for upcoming food diaries to see what I make with the chopped onions! It’s less messy than chopping a fresh onion, plus less waste since I can simply portion out what I’m going to use each time – and not worry about any going bad before I can use it all. □ I love convenient frozen produce like this (where that is the ONLY ingredient) as I don’t cook often and I’m cooking for one. I found a great (super convenient) bag of already chopped onions in the freezer section at the grocery store this week too, which was nice: In this example I’m using chopped onions, because lately I’ve fallen in LOVE with grilled or sauteed onions as an ingredient in my keto meals. I’m a macro tracking junkie □ so here are a few tips to make it easier! Plus a lot of other fun facts & interesting tips mixed in… A lot of people tell me they find keto macros, low carb meal tracking and/or MyFitnessPal to be complicated or frustrating. ![]()
