    You want to look at serving size. Say the broth is 30 calories for 1/2 cup and you used 1 cup then you used 2 servings. Its all about the serving size. If say the broth only comes up with 1 cup and you used say 1/4 cup then that would be .25 serving. Does that help?

    If you're using the recipe calculator you make make the servings as big as you want them. My default is to do it by the cup. (you can always have seconds) But it's really up to you.

    Be sure to look at the nutrition label on the package. Nutritional info is usually for 1 portion, but the container may have numerous portions. If you eat the whole can of chicken, you will have to enter the full number of portions listed on the can. Hope this makes sense.

    And if you're not sure how many cups are in it, wait until it's done, then measure it all out.

    Can you make go by cups? I did a recipe recently and it just asks how many servings, doesn't say what size servings, that I can see anyway, do you measure how many cups in the whole recipe and then put it in that way?
