How do you figure out your calories? HELP

Is there a website that allows you to input your meal to determine how many calories? I know if I eat a prepared meal the calories are based on the box nutritional information, but like tonight I made Barilla pasta, used crushed Hunts Tomatoes, Rago Chunky Sauce, 93% ground beef and mild sausage. How in the world do I calculate the calories in this!???

    If you are using the MFP iPhone app, you can also scan the bar code of the containers you're adding to your recipe (or any food you are eating). I have about an 80% hit rate - the bar code comes back with a result and it is the correct product. I find it is really easy to create my recipes that way. Love the bar code scan!
