How do I go about finding nutritional info?

DBranchaud

My uncle gave me this recipe for these delicious muffins. How would I go about finding the info for them? He got the recipe from a wieght watchers buddy and he said it's only 2 points per muffin. I'd like to know the calorie intake and such from one. I want to put them on this site.

Recipe:
1 box of spice cake mix
1 can of pumpkin pie filling
Replace all eggs and oil and such with the pie filling and bake from there

They are DELICIOUS. Can anybody tell me how to go about finding the info? I already went on to the wieght watchers site. Nothing there on these babies.

There's a site that you can go to, put in your ingredients, and it'll tell you what you need to know.

Is this for the entire recipe? How many muffins does it make? Most recipes make either 6 or 12 muffins. If this is for the entire recipie, divide by the number of muffins it makes, and that'll give you the info for one muffin.

Great idea! Be sure to put the point values cause some people count points.

how do I do that?

Know what? I think I misunderstood you. You're going to put it in the data base, and I thought you were going to post it on Recipes on the message board. I don't think you can put points on the sites list! Sorry!
