Estimating homemade chilli calories

So I'm making chilli tonight and was wondering how I can estimate the calories. I don't weigh food just count calories and estimate and it's working for me. So should I calculate the total number of calories for the entire chilli and estimate calories based on what i eat?

    Yup. I always use the recipe builder when putting several ingredients together. If I'm preparing 4 or 6 meals and I'm too lazy to weigh them out into even portions then I'll just divide it into how many meals it is and though one meal might be slightly bigger or smaller than the other, it all totals the same once you consumed all the portions.
