i make a lot of homemade foods but can't seem to find where to add calories to get the overall calories for the dish. Is there such a thing on her (like a recipe builder) plaese help as at the moment I am having to add each ingredient individually into breakfast lunch ect, so can only guess on sizes/amounts as all the ingredients are already mixed together eg soups etc.
I hope this makes sense.

    In the menu bar (where you find the community category, diary, help etc) there is a category called my recipes and food. From there you can either upload a recipe from the web or enter it manually. Most times I don't follow recipes so as I make the meal I type in ingredients and amounts. From there you input how many portions a dish makes and voila! It divides the calories per portion. Just make sure you're actually measuring versus estimating to get an accurate caloric count :D

    it'll give you the option to save it and also log it, it really is very easy to follow and makes logging our own foods much simpler :)
