    ok, I guess I really don't get this... I scooped up 9 1/3 cups so I got 9 servings but the recipe maker is only calculating 1 serving divided by 9 servings which is not correct... meaning it is not taking the whole calories of both items adding them together and then dividing by the number of servings to get my calories.

    Doesn't sound right... just start over, put in your ingredients and put in 9 next to servings.

    Don't know what went wrong...

    Whatever I make is never super huge so I wlll just measure out what I want my "serving" to me- usually it's around a cup. I count how many cups of whatever I made go into the tupperware that I'm storing it in and that's how many servings I divide it by when I put the recipe in!

    I figured it out. I wasn't putting the correct amount of servings in the initial ingredients. Super easy once you figure out how it works. Thanks for the help.

    I made homemade chilli tonight which was DELICIOUS btw lol and just did 1 cup chili and 1 cup cooked pasta. Seemed liek a normal portion to me anyway. And you can enter anything you used to create a recipe that has a nutritional label and that helps break it down a little bit into servings.
