how to calculate a recipe

[raedai]

I made a recipe wrote down everything pretthy much that went into it, but it was a shared meal and we dont per say measure portions. so how do i know how many calories are in the meal? per serving?

If you have the total for every component, just divide by 4 (if there were four of you at the table). Then use those numbers for one serving.

You can use program such as Master Cook. This will measure every ingredient and give you a complete breakdown of the entire recipe by cals, carbs, fat, fiber, protein, etc.
