When you add a recipe to the database, it will figure out the calories for you as well.
Hint, hint...lol I am hoping you will be sharing some of your recipes with us!1 -

Hey I'm indian. I've noticed a lot of food is already in here (biryani, pulihara, curries) but for random reciples I use Wolfram Alpha. It gives you the nutrition facts of the recipes you input. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1+cup+of+rice+++1/2+cup+of+tomatoes+++1+tsp+of+sugar+++1+okra+++garam+masala here's an example.0

The struggle is most of us cook from our memory we do not follow recipes. I needed the calories for the various ingredients we put for the cooking.
I have stopped loading the recipes to the MFP as noticed I have different calorie count than the one uploaded.
Secondly when I am in a hurry I check 3-4 and calculate the average to add to my tracker.0 -
We love India Food! I would like a buddy for all that calculating of yummy recipes! And if you wanna share any recipes..... Just saying...
Hey, my 16 year old was a chef helper at an Indian Restaurant where we used to live. ..0 -
Calorie counting is not an exact science, so taking the average of several recipes may work, as well as entering all of the ingredients (estimates) for your typical preparation.
I don't cook from a recipe either, but I typically make things pretty much the same most of the time. - not exact, but close enough. I just use the 'recipe' I entered the very first time.0
