Okay...when you enter a recipe on MFP, for number of people, do you put 1 (for yourself) or Servings Per Container?
On the box the calories are 330 & servings per container is 5, but when I that it said that each cup is like 64 calories.

    If a box states that the calories per serving is 330, and there are 5 servings per box, that means that you will have (330 X 5) 1650 calories in the whole box. If you are adding this to a recipe and are using the whole box, you can choose to enter either 1 of the whole container (1650 total) or 5 individual servings (1650 total). Hope this helps. :)
