As someone who likes to cook for others in often preparing meals for a group of atleast three people. I've just started CICO to lose some extra weight I feel, and still learning to navigate this. I still find this complex enough but counting calories while cooking for many leaves me overwhelmed. For example today, I'm making a simple dal for three. I measured 150 gms of dal and left it to soak. I'll cook it later with some garlic, ginger, tomato, mustard seeds, and 1 tablespoon of oil. I could portion this into three equal bowls and record calories accordingly. However, we may not eat equal quantities... As with most meals I eat, the pot would be on the table and shared. At one point I would mentally count the number of spoonfuls I would serve myself and secretly count everyone else's. Terrible idea. I do not recommend.
How do you work around this? Any ideas or suggestions are most welcome. Thank you in advance for this, and all the amazing stuff you post on this sub.
