So I'm confused....

I looked up spaghetti sauce with meat and got wildly different calorie amounts. The one that specified (without noodles) was under 200 calories, and the other one that said Homemade meat sauce for spaghetti was over 400! I'm going with the lower one, as it specified without noodles, which is how I ate it. It can be really frustrating getting such different results because I'm trying to hard to stay within my limit. I made the meat sauce with

onions
garlic
green pepper
tomato paste (1/2 small can)
diced tomatoes (big can)
tomato sauce (tall can)
lean ground beef

Anyways, any tips would be helpful. Thanks.

    Why don't you enter it into the recipe section and see what it tells you? You'll have an accurate count and you can determine your own serving size.

    Go to the 'food' tab and the subsection 'recipes' then add everything you put in your sauce.

    I would bet that spaghetti sauces can vary wildly, some people use sausage, some add oil... Etc, etc.
