Carb counting for parmesan cheese...
I have been experimenting lately with frying veggies using parmesan cheese, and I love it!!!! To me, it tastes like the real thing. However, I'm a little confused about how much parm cheese I am actually eating...since I tend to shake up veggies in a baggie to coat, and not all of it is used, and then some comes off during the fry. Any ideas? I want to be able to track this info in Fitday. Also, how much of the oil gets absorbed? For example, 1 cup of fried cauliflower pan fried with soybean (vegetable) oil. Am I thinking too hard? (My hubby says I am! LOL) Thanks!

Re: Carb counting for parmesan cheese...
Measure the amount of cheese you are putting into your coating. Then after you have coated the foods, measure the remaining cheese. Subtract that from the original amount---that number is the amount that stuck to the food.
For example, you put 1 cup of parmesan into your bag. After coating all the food, you re-measure and you have 1/4 cup remaining. That means 3/4 cup of parmesan is stuck to the food.
You can do oil the same way. Measure the oil before, and measure the oil after frying.
