HI every one!!

Here's my issue lol. When I add a recipe to mfp I get confused cause I'm not sure how many servings/how many cal per serving etc to put for whatever I'm cooking. Can some one please help me?? Example would be turkey chilli or bake ziti in a regular big pot/pan.

    when i added a recipe the other day i actually put in the ingredients (just like you would your food log) a 9x13 baking dish should probably serve 8ish people. and the program figures the rest

    i agree with you, this is why i just added 1 or 2 recipes, but i just estimated how many people could eat by CUP servings.

    That is what I try to do as well. I wish you could put in the serving size and have the calories calculated for that serving size. (i.e. 1 Cup, 2 Cups etc.)
