    you don't actually have to do all the math... if you plug all of your ingredients into the recipe builder, it is done for you.

    search for the can of tomatoes, add 3.5 servings.
    search for the can of beans, add 6 servings.
    search for whatever ground turkey you have (99% fat free, etc.), add total servings in package (probably 6?).

    if you're going to evenly split the entire pot of chili out for your family of 5 people, at the top of the recipe builder put 5 servings. save, then log.

    Tonight my family wants chili for supper but I'm wondering how to calculate the calories and nutrition facts for the meal as I use ground turkey, canned chili beans, canned diced tomatoes, canned pintos and chili season from the pack so do I just scan all the ingredients one at a time to get the calories? Each canned item says the serving size is 1/2 cup

    Use the MFP recipe builder and it will do the math for you.
