    How I do it is....
    Any canned or boxed add all the calories
    add any calories for un lableld..i.e Chicken, fresh veggies
    add everything together and divide it by how many portions it made.

    I have a question when you use this website --recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp to get the nutrition facts is the info they give you perserving or for the full 6 servings it makes? I tried this site and it is a real helpful tool.
