need help with logging homemade foods

happywife2

most of the food I eat is homemade. from salad dressing to desserts. I am being very careful to log everything I eat but most of my foods are not in the database and I don't know the calories/nutrition breakdown. so i'm unsure how to enter it and it can take me a long time to log simple foods like a new salad dressing or a homemade carrot muffin. is there a website or a tool that I can input my ingredients and it tells me the calorie and nutrition breakdown per serving? if not, any other ideas on how to enter these kind of foods?

You know what you put in, and what amounts.

So you look at the data for the constituents, do a little math, divide by portion sizing and done.

Just use myfitnesspal's recipe tool. Food - Recipes, and then put in your information. It's a pain if you cook different things all the time but it's very useful, especially if I put the ingredients in before I make it, that way I can adapt the recipe if it's too many calories.

I just found this tool after being on here for over 100 days and it's amazing! I love being able to put my foods in there. Trying to find something similar is a challenge because I may make that recipe different than someone else.
