How do I calculate calories for a homemade meal?

maepis

I thought I had seen a post in the past that showed a website that allows you to enter the ingredients and would tell you how many servings the meal made and how many calories were in each serving but I can't seem to find it. Is there such a website or can it be done from here? The main reason I am wondering is because I am fixing to make some spaghetti, yes I know it's horrible, but I need to see what size the serving should be with all my ingredients and how horrific the calorie count in each serving is. I know the total calorie count for the entire pot will be 3300.

Caloriecount.com has one of those

Works awesome and will give the recipe a letter grade based on nutritional information also.

Here's another one that I found mentioned here on mfp:

Good luck! I love spaghetti too and I don't deprive myself. Just pay attention to portion and what else you've had that day.

You can do it here by entering all your ingredients and using the "remember meal" feature - just remember to mark how many servings that meal made so you can enter the correct portion amount when you eat it.
