I entered a recipe for 2 servings that provides 368 calories and when entered in our diary gives 368 per serving. What is wrong?

    Did you enter "2" in the field for how many it serves when you created the recipe? If not, logging one serving may be logging all the calories in the entire recipe.

    Did your belief that it provides 368 calories come from somewhere in MFP, where all or most of the displayed information for a recipe is "per serving"? I think the only time I've seen MFP display the nutrition information for the entire batch produced by a recipe is when I'm actually creating the recipe.

    Right per serving is 368 calories. I guess I'm not understanding the question
