I do a lot of meal prep on Sundays with my slow cooker but I find it so hard to track the calories in a big pot of chili or stew. I usually just guess but I know that is probably why my progress is slow.
How do you guys calculate macros for recipes with ten different ingredients? Do you weigh the final pot and then divide it into portions? It seems like a lot of work but I am willing to do it if it makes a difference.
I am using MyFitnessPal but the recipe importer is sometimes a bit wonky with measurements like a bunch of cilantro or three cloves of garlic. Any tips for making this process faster would be amazing because I have a busy job and cannot spend hours on this.
