Does anyone know of a good site or app where you can put in all your ingredients and serving size and number of servings of a recipe ( such as a stew or casserole) and it will calculate all the calories and nutritional info per serving? Please tell me there is something out there that does this easily...thanks!!

    This one! The recipe builder on MFP works great for me.

    I love mfp's recipe calculator. Even better now that I can import directly from a recipe web site.

    I love being able to scan to add ingredients, even perimeter ingredients like fresh produce, meats, etc.

    I think that is what I'm looking for...how do you access it on here? Sorry I just came back to MFP after being gone about 4 years and so much has changed!

    Since you may have been used to the old Food Database and its search engine (it has changed a lot), I would recommend that you start with using the Old Recipe Calculator, which is found on the Web version only by navigating to FOOD > Recipes > Old Recipe Calculator > Enter New Recipe which is on the right side of the main Recipe page.

    Once you are familiar with that, you might want to try the New Recipe Importer/Add Recipe Manually feature that uses the same Food Database, but its search engine can be, how shall I put it, quite frustrating.

    Be careful to double check though. Entering a bunch of recipes last week, some things were just plain wrong.

    Like below. I have no idea what kind of garlic this is, or what kind of chili powder, but damn.

    That garlic is killing me every time. It's the first thing to get matched up.

    Last week I put a recipe into the builder and was surprised because it was way more calories than I anticipated. But I really wanted a full serving, so I ran for an extra half hour. Got back to my computer, realized I should double-check the recipe, and yeah . . . it was that darn garlic.
