How to use this calculator

1Enter how many servings the recipe makes.
2For each ingredient, pick it from the list and enter the amount and unit. Use "Add Ingredient" for more rows.
3Read calories, protein, carbs, fat, and fiber per serving, with batch totals underneath.
4Check the breakdown to see which ingredients add the most calories.

Tip: Estimates use USDA data for raw ingredients. Frying oil that stays in the pan isn't eaten, so leave it out.

How it's calculated

Ingredient Nutrient = (Ingredient Mass in Grams × Nutrient per 100g) ÷ 100

We do the math at full precision and only round the final answer, so the numbers you see are as close as kitchen measurements allow. The assumptions and limits are listed alongside.

Worked example

Scenario: 4-serving pasta dish with 300g flour, 2 eggs, and 1 tbsp olive oil.

Inputs300g flour (1,092 kcal), 2 eggs (143 kcal), 1 tbsp olive oil (120 kcal) = 1,355 kcal total.

Calculation1,355 kcal ÷ 4 servings = 338.75 kcal per serving

Result339 kcal per serving (1,355 kcal total batch)

Common questions

Are recipe calorie calculations exact?

No, they're good estimates. Real food varies: one banana is sweeter than another, and one cut of meat is fattier. Expect results within about 10-20% of a lab test.
