recipe calculations is not my thang!

Have you tried adding the individual ingredients to your diary, one at a time? Once you're done, you can save that meal as "Homemade Chili" or whatever you'd like to call it and you can have for future reference anytime.

Hopefully, we'll be able to make creating recipes on our site much easier in the future. Good luck!

I almost enjoy adding it all up because I see how many less calories it is by making it at home vs. eating chili at Wendy's or something. I enter all the ingredients in the recipe into a blank meal (ex. Dinner without any other foods at all entered). If I add two cans of beans I enter 7 servings, etc.until all the ingredients are in. It makes your calorie count for the meal look like 2,000 but I'm not done yet. I "remember" the meal as "My (insert name) Chili". I then add "My Chili" to Dinner (from the my meals tab) in an amount like .125 (1/8th). I then just click the red minus button next to all the individual ingredients to clear them off my calorie count. The best part is that when you have leftovers for lunch the next day, everything is already entered.
