Nutrition accurate for recipe creation?

I am curious about the accuracy of the recipes I create in MFP. For example, I recently made spaghetti sauce to serve with turkey meatballs. For the sauce, I put canned whole tomatoes in a food mill, sweated minced onion and carrot, then simmered both until reduced sufficiently.
Each one had lots of nutrition, but doesn’t that change when cooked? How do I account for that in my daily diary?

You really don't lose the nutriets when you have the whole thing. Boiling veggies lose nutrients, because some of the nutriets are now in the water. With sauces you eat everything, so don't worry and just enjoy.0
