Logging Oil

[J352SAURUS]

Hi everybody! I'm new to the Fitbit forums even though I've been using my Fitbit for years. This is my first post, and I'm really sorry if the answer is out there somewhere and I just couldn't find it.

So, on the stove, there is always a wok there that is half-filled with canola oil. My SO and I use it to fry frozen chips or chicken nuggets sometimes (but not very often at all, so don't judge, haha). Obviously the chips and nuggets absorb oil, but how much? How do I log the oil?

I don't know how much oil is in the wok, but even if I did it probably wouldn't help. I usually only have 100g of chips or 4 nuggets when I do have it, so it's not a monstrous amount. I also drain the chips or nuggets on paper towel before eating them.

I've just been logging the canola oil as "1 serving", but I really don't know if it's more or less because I don't know how to put a number on it. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

The only way to really figure it out is to measure what is in the pan before cooking. Then when its cooked measure what is left in the pan.

Oooh. That could get messy, but it's a good idea! Thanks! I'll try give it a go!
