Calculating Calories for Homemade Meals - is there an easy way to do this? I cook mostly at home.

    Weigh and measure and keep hold of packaging to scan or add if MFP doesn't have it on file!

    Time consuming but as soon as you've put in the ground work, you'll be able to save it as a Meal or Recipe :)

    I hope that this helps!

    I cook mostly at home as well. I use the recipe builder. You can even import recipes from other websites. It is easy to use. You can even scan ingredients as you add them. Something that will help immensely is a food scale, both for the ingredients but also for weighing out portions. If I make something, I put all of it in a bowl and weigh it. The I calculate the number of portions and take out that much for myself.
