Has anyone used the recipe analyzer????

I was wondering if anyone has used it.  I went to it and tried to enter one of my recipes.  I am making chili for dinner and I just simply entered the weight in grams of each thing I used from a can and then the veggies I put into it.  But I wasn't sure when it asks for the number of servings, does that just count for what I will eat or is that for the whole recipe?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

The number of serving is for it can calculate how much calories and nutrients there are in 1 serving. If you eat the whole thing just by yourself, it is 1 serving, if it is for the whole family then it is for the amount of person you are serving with it. Get it?

So, if I think it will serve 6 people then the Number of servings will be 6?  And when it comes back with the analysis, what it gives me is for one serving?

Yes

Thank you very much!!!!!

i use it quite often.  i just used it for an oven stew, and figured it will make 16 servings.  so i entered one serving for my dinner, but if i decide to eat two servings, then i can just re-enter that same portion.

it seems to prefer measuring cups to weights for most things.  like for the onions and celery, i put in "1 cup, chopped," but for things like potatoes, "1 1/2 lb potatoes" seems to work.

you do need to check items even when they get a green flag, because sometimes, for example, the ingredient is already cooked, instead of raw, and the values can be quite different.  or you might have something "low-fat" and the recipe is showing a "regular" version of it.

if there's an ingredient that keeps getting a "red flag," i just leave it out of the "recipe" and enter it separately into my food log.

Thank you for your advice, I did enter my chili recipe and it seemed to come out about right.  It said for one serving that was 311 g it was 389 calories. Which to me seems about right for all the ingredients I use.  It's pretty cool actually.  Now that I figured it out. I like it.  I used the gram weight and it came to about what the cans had them listed as.

Thanks again
