Does anyone know if there is a web site or app you can get that lets you put all the ingredients in to calculate what you made rather then having to add everything separately? IE home made BBQ sauce

    Recipe builder, or the "meals" feature if it's something you want to change the ingredients of more often.

    Yeah the recipe builder on here will do it. I use it when ever i am making a con-cation out of the random things in my pantry.

    This^^^^
    The recipe builder is great for that kind of thing.
    I have all my basic sauces, curries, and stews in it and some meals.

    Cheers, h.

    Just watch that the recipe builder on the site doesn't give you some screwy results for certain ingredients. I manually calculate for the most part since for me it's just as easy to write down the ingredients and figure out the sum. If you have a really complicated dish, you can just add the most significant/calorie dense ingredients (for example, ketchup and brown sugar in BBQ sauce) and add a reasonable safety margin as needed to catch everything else.

    Best cure for that is do your own ingredient entries.
