Be really careful copying recipes...

Just a heads up. We have guests tonight so I made a pie - the recipe I found online said the calorie count was 340 calories for an 8th of a pie. Not too bad, right? Well, I made it, entered it in the calculator... 520 calories a serving!

NEVER trust what websites give you for calorie info! I'm sure it's going to be delicious though!

    do the math yourself when you're putting the food together. since most recipes arent giving you brands that's a good idea to do anyway. for instance if a recipe calls for mayonnaise how can you be certain you are using the same brand as the person who created the recipe?
