Anyone master this tool? I just made chili with 2 cans of kuner's original chili beans, 3 cans of kuner's red kidney beans, 2 cans of Hunt's Traditional pasta sauce, 1 packet of McCormick dry chili seasoning and a pound of 85% lean ground beef. After putting all that in they want to know how many servings that is? I don't know! I just want to know the calories in 1 or 2 cups. Any advice?

    If you can measure out how many cups are in the entire recipe, you can get the result you're looking for. For example if you measure it and find that your whole recipe is 10 cups worth of food, then enter in the recipe calculator that it makes 10 servings (1 cup each). Then when you consume it, if you eat 1 cup you can enter it in your diary as 1 serving. If you eat 2 cups enter it as 2 servings of 1 cup each etc.

    This is absolutely the best way to do it!!
