Nutritional Values of Homemade foods
I do a lot of cooking with fresh ingredients and don't buy much prepackaged stuff. Any idea how to compute a nutritional value for homemade stuff like casseroles, soups, and such? Best I can figure is add it all up and divide by the number of servings. Does that get close enough?

For example, 100g of fresh, raw, blackberries, unsweetened has 43 cal but 100g of frozen blackberries, unsweetened has 64 cal. The sugar goes from 5g in the fresh to 11g in the frozen.
