how do I log raw plaintain?
The only option I see on here is for logging boiled plantain.
What I like to do with vegetables even ones I cook, is weigh them raw and then add those to fitday and then add any fat/seasoning separately. If I wanted to take a plantain and cut it up and bake it in the oven for example, how would I know what to enter? Would a boiled ounce be the same weight as a raw ounce I guess it would... but not sure if that's what I should enter. Also I heard if you let them go completely black you can actually eat them raw, but fitday has no listing for the calories this way. Should I just log it as one whole "boiled" plantain? Do riper plantains have more calories than less ripe ones? I want to try these but until fitday lets me log them properly it will be difficult. |
I would Google the nutrition information and make a custom food.
I doubt a boiled one would weigh the same as a raw one, but I'm sure you can find nutrition information for all ways of eating/fixing them if you look around the internet. |

I don't want to get bored with the food I'm eating, so I'm trying as many new fruits and vegetables as I can in order to keep the interest level up and to my dismay some of them don't show up at all in fitday even though they're commonly eaten by a lot of people. I can make custom foods but I wonder if there's a limit on how many custom foods we can make. I already have a long list of them. |
I would post a link, but it's a competitor site. However, if you Google "plaintain nutrition," you will get several hits.
I don't know if there's a limit, but I have about 450 foods in my custom list and no glitches yet. |
I found it thanks, 33 calories per ounce raw. I just needed the right search term :)
