Compound food/Recipes

I have a quick question. So... Today I had sloppy joes for dinner (and had to guesstimate calories) Because of something in unaware of how to count.

So sloppy joes = beef + sloppy joe sauce... But when they are mixed together and cooked I'm not unaware what the calories would be combined how do I count something like this and other stuff like this?

If you're using a prepared (canned) sauce and adding the meat you can try scanning the bar code using the app. Or searching for it. Many times I just look for something close to what I ate.
If you're making it from scratch you can try the recipe builder function. Just make sure you know your recipe really well.
I think you can even import recipes from websites.
Hope this helps

You need to calculate the whole recipe. Do you have a scale? Since you know the NI per serving of the Sloppy Joe Mix, then figure out the NI of the meat you're using. Once cooked, weigh the entire batch and divide by the number of servings to get your serving size.
