working out home recipe calories

jakspak

i have a dish i make realy nice but when i worked out the cal count by ingredients adding up and dividing it well came out realy realy big and i mean higher than what a normal person should eat unless he was a giant so what am i doing wrong or should i stop eating my favourite dinner.

not sure if i got another one right either which we have for lunch every sunday id hate to have to stop that one too as the amount it says i can eat realy isnt enough to fill me or even touch the sides

www.recipezaar.com is a recipe website, they display the nutritional content for every recipe on the site. I use it alot for things that I make at home. It's easy, after you set up an acct-IT IS FREE, then you "post a recipe", enter the ingredients, enter cook time, servings, etc and it computes it all for you, the only draw back is there is a 24 hour turn around time until they post it.
