Ok, so I'm logging a mango and the size options are 1 cup sliced or one fruit without refuse. What does that even mean?

The refuse is the part you don't eat i.e. the skin and large flat pit.

Well one cup sliced most likely means one cup of sliced mango and one fruit without refuse probably means one mango fruit without the skin and pit.

"Refuse" refers to the parts of the mango you toss in the garbage (the pit and the skin).  So one fruit without the pit and the skin is what you'd log if you peeled, pitted, and ate a mango.  If you cut it up and measured it out, you could log it as an amount like a cup.  If you know the approximate weight, you could log it by its weight.


Hope that helps!  Mangos are tasty (and high in Vitamin C)!

oh, now that I read it that way it makes total sense! I feel like a dummy. Thanks

Oh, I hope you're not a dummy. I didn't know either!
