Recipe Analyzer question

Does the recipe analyzer take into effect any calorie changes caused by the way something is cooked or prepared?  For example, when one makes bread, does the final product (bread)  really have the calorie content of all the individual ingredients added together?   Wouldn't the yeast be "burning" some of the calories of the sugar or other fuel used during fermentation?

Before hitting the 'x' next to your recipe to delete it, do this:

Copy and paste the ingredients in your recipe to New Recipe. Add the quant(ies) you normally eat to your food log using the add one serving to your food log option. Now name it, "add to log" and remember to tag it. It is now a custom food (Tagged Food). Go back and delete the recipe on this Web site.

-->This part is essentially what I've been doing.

example:
Cocoa, lowfat milk, Equal, 1/8 tsp extract
210 g milk, 2 packets Equal, 4 g cocoa, 1/8 tsp peppermint extract, REHEAT BEV 4
Added 2008-10-19
beverage, cocoa, hot beverage

This recipe is not on the Internet as such. I did it to save a variation without changing the recipe each time I wanted to log it, with reminder comments as to what is in it. Also tagged it so I can find it in my Tagged Foods.

-->How do you modify a recipe that isn't a saved recipe?

I'm confused.

-->How do you modify a recipe that isn't a saved recipe?

I started with a saved recipe of my own.  It's only within the last six months or so that you could delete a recipe you no longer wanted on this site.  All you could do was overwrite it.

If your recipe has NEVER been on the site, go ahead and start with New Recipe.  Type in all your ingredients, fix ingredients getting flagged, change serving size to what you normally eat, but when it asks you to save recipe, just add one serving to your log instead.  In this process, you will give your recipe/custom food a name.  Once on the food log, tag it into the appropriate categories making sense to you, making it a Tagged Food.  During tagging you can leave notes, such as I did, what was in the recipe.  If you never vary a recipe and have it in a book or on index cards or your computer at home, then no notation is required. 

Sorry for the confusion.  From a longtime user's perspective, our recipes are already on this site.  There was no other choice if you wanted to use the site's food log.
