How are you accurately tracking whole protein sources and total cals on nutrition apps?

Say you eat 170g of pasta and nutrition label says 10g of protein as an example. This isn’t coming from whole/complete protein sources like chicken, beef, whey etc.

My question is how are you accurately tracking your calories per day (quickly)? Are you discarding those 10g of protein/40cals and not including them at all in your daily calories, which i’ve seen some do? What are you using to track (since regular nutrition apps will just add everything together, regardless of whole source or not)?

thanks

I only track whole good quality protein sources. I know how much protein is in the meat/eggs/whey etc i buy so it is not a real problem to know how much i eat in a day.

I track all peotein, I am not subtracting say the protein in oats. I eat more than 1g per lb to give myself some leeway

I track all protein sources so my calories are accurate. Don’t have many Trace proteins from my carbs or fats anyway.

Same. I make the same meals often, so it's nice to plug it into MFP once then it's easy to recall that meal in the future.
