I am using the Diet Tracker to keep track of diet and am having a problem. There are a lot of foods that I eat on a regular basis that aren't included in there and I cant add a custom food because I dont know their nutrition facts. Here are a few examples:

Hamburger, Homemade With Ketchup

Pazzo Bread

Scrambled Eggs

Hard Boiled Eggs

etc. etc.

Okay, I have another question... I just added a custom food for practice but need a little help. I added a granola bar and put in all it's information. 1 serving s 28 grams so I put that at the top and put in all the other info. Today, I've eaten 2 granola bars so when I add it to the food I've eaten, It comes ups with 28 g for serving and it is changable. Am I supposed to change it to 56 g or add 2 granola bars?

If there is a food you cannot find use Google to search for the food. Just put the food name in and then calories and a ? For the hamburger you would add the meat, bun and ketchup.
For the granola bar question I would just add two granola bars to the log.

Well I can help you out with the eggs. A typical 70-80 gram egg contains the following: 70-80 Calories (Each)
6 grams of fat ( This is 85% in the yellow part only)
6 grams of Protein ( Mostly found in the egg white)
Lastly theres quite a high amount of Cholestrol in the Yellow part.
If you only consume the white part of the egg itll greatly reduce fat, cholestrol, calories yet keep a lot of protein!

Hope it helped!

Hard boiled and Scrambled Eggs don't really Vary in nutrition. Possibly one method reduces a little of the Fat and Protein more than another, but comparing both on a 1-1 Egg basis, there's little in it nutrition wise if at all.

Most normal sized Eggs have about 6g Protein, 3.5g in the White, 2.5g in the Yolks, and 5g Fats.

For larger ones, it's about 8g Protein, I think about 4.5g in the Whites, and 3.5 in the Yolks.

As for the Yolks, Cholesterol is in there at approximately 60% LDL, 40% HDL, and it also contains Fat soluable Vitamins A, D, E, and K, as Fat is a Transporter for these Vitamins, and also Egg Yolks contain Lutein, which can convert to Vitamin A, but also helps prevent Macular degeneration.

The Macular is a part of the Retina at the back of the Eye, which helps with central vision.

There may also be Zeaxanthin in there, another Carotenoid, which converts to Vit A, and has similar properties to Lutein. Can't remember off hand if it's in Yolks though or not. It wouldn't be in the whites.

If you buy Omega Eggs, then there's about 4.5-5g Monounsaturated Fats, about the same Protein, and roughly 1g Carbs, as the Omega Fats get there, by adding a bit of Flax to the Chicken food

Just FYI, I use calorieking.com to get nutrition info. There are an amazing number of products listed including brand names and many fast food/restaurant items. They have a weight loss club you can join, but I haven't done that. The nutrition information is free and easily searchable.

Hope that helps!
