Does this sound right to you?
I've just switched over to CC'ing from SB and am learning as I go. I use Livestrong/thedailyplate to track. I cook a lot, so this weekend I started using the "My Recipe" function where Livestrong will calculate calories, etc based off of your recipe. It seemed to work fine for a dish I made for dinner last night. This morning I put it in my meatloaf recipe because thats what I was having for lunch today.
Recipe:
1.25 lbs 93/7 ground beef
1/4 chopped red onion
1/4 cup ketchup (this may be an over estimate as I just squirted some in and forgot to measure. Definitely not more than 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup old fashioned quaker oats
1 egg
This is split into 6 servings of approx. 4 ounces.
Livestrong says that 1 serving contains the following:
363 calories
7.9 grams of fat
94 cholesterol
1891 mg sodium
43.3 carbs
38.3 sugars
My biggest issue is with the sodium, carbs and sugars. I just don't see where these numbers are coming from. Even I ate the whole 1/2 cup of oats, thats only 22 carbs. And nothing in the recipe is high in sodium, yet 1/6 of the whole meatloaf almost has 2000 mg of sodium?
Does this sound correct to anyone else?
