Where's the easiest ingredient/calorie converter for recipes

Kristinemomof3

Is MFP easy to use or some place else easier. I have a few recipes that I would like to know the calories of

Thanks,

MFP is incredibly easy, but I use an iPhone. I bop around my kitchen barcode-scanning the food in the recipe. It's extremely easy. I really only have to manually add fresh produce and things like that that aren't barcoded.

I use my iphone too, but I bake a lot and don't always have the package (empty ingrdients into containers). I'll give a recipe a try and see what I come up with. I love being able to scan other day to day items that I eat.

I use the MFP recipe section ALL THE TIME. It's really easy.

I have always done makeovers on recipes to lighten them up and make my own recipes. The MFP tool is very easy to use. It's pretty much the same as entering into your food tracker. I have also found after entering a few items in, it gets easier as you learn the little ins and outs of the food database.

I find it very easy to use. I put in a lot of the recipes I make because I'm often eating them multiple times as leftovers. I think its easier to use on the computer than my phone.

i actually found http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php to be so much easier and more accurate too.

I've used the recipe section and it seems to work beautifully.

I haven't ever had an issue with converting my recipes here so I can get my accurate calorie count. I like it here do far. I haven't ran into a problem yet.

I tend to use both the MFP one and I use the scanner on there and I use other recipes too or calculate them and keep in my recipes..... I have an app on my iphone called converter plus which I find good for converting kilojoules to calories for logging.
Often just add everything seperately but it is time consuming and worth making up as new item :-)

I've been having fun with the meals section. You can take all those little pieces you log individually and make them into a meal so you can add them all at once next time. It's really working out well for me.
