How do I calculate a recipe?

I tried using the recipe calculator and couldn't get anywhere.
I have a. Bread recipe that I bake a lot. Not sure if sourdough starter will be on the database but I can calculate the amount of flour and water in the starter.
960 grams whole rye flour
806 grams water
230 rye sourdough starter= 115 rye flour, 115 water
30 grams of salt
2 tablespoons caraway seed
1 tablespoon fennel seed or garam masala
1 tablespoon dry onion flakes

Raise for 4 hours or in the fridge overnight.
Put in Pullman pan, let raise to the top and place in oven at 300 degrees until internal temperature reads 205 degrees. I have no idea how many slices but when I slice a piece tomorrow I can measure. I don't think weight would be correct as I'm sure it loses weight as it cooks. I guess I could do a pre and post weight to find out.

I'm also going to make some whole wheat sourdough sandwich bread and English muffins this week as well so I'd like to learn to do the recipe calculator.

If anybody has questions about baking the 100% whole rye I'm more than willing to answer. I grind my own flours and create most of my own recipes. This one is modified from a recipe posted on The Fresh Loaf website. It's called Mini's Favorite rye. It's so flavorful and sweet albeit quite dense, like an Eastern European or Scandinavian bread. I'm Finnish and grew up eating my Grandmother's rye and whole wheat baked foods.

    Are you using the web, android or iOS version of MyFitnessPal? I seem to be having issues with entering in ingredients for recipes on the web version too. In that case it would be a website issue.

    I'm using the web version and I'm also having issues entering recipe ingredients. After entering the ingredients it simply states "no recipe". Let me know if you find a solution.

    I just got the same no recipe message. I'm on my laptop and I was able to build the recipe using the button for Old Recipe calculator on the left of the page. Got that recipe entered eventually!

    Here you go :)

    Nutrition Facts (Whole Loaf based on your ingredients)
    Calories 2,962 Calories from Fat 313

    I looked up a generic Rye Sourdough Starter mix and the nutritional facts were 0 on everything so it seems like the absence of that in the recipe calculator is negligible. I always use the Recipe Calculator on Caloriecount.about(dot)com/cc/recipe_analysis.php :flowerforyou: I just feel like it's easier to use.
