Calories in Homemade Chili

Go to Food, Recipes, Add new recipe. You can put in all your ingredients, including how many servings and it will calculate for you.

I added all the ingredients calories together to get total calories. Then I measured how much it made (mine was 10 cups). Then I divided the total calories by 10 cups. So I knew it was around 260 per cup of chili. I love homemade chili!

I had to do the same thing with a casserole that I made. I added up all the calories in each ingredient (that can actually be quite scary), then I divided that by how many servings I could get. My casserole ended up with 9 servings with 318 calories and 8 grams of fat per serving. For your Chili, I would put all ingredients in a large measuring bowl or a container that you know how many "cups" it will hold and then divide that up into servings. For example, if you have 2250 calories total in a 8 cup bowl, with 1 cup servings, I would divide 2250 by 8 and total per serving would be 281.25. There is probably an easier way, but I didn't find it when I was preparing my casserole. Good Luck.

Yep, use the recipe builder. Also, get a digital kitchen scale. Meaure the whole batch in grams, and look at the total calories in your recipe. Then divide to get calories per gram. (i.e. 2500 grams of chili, total of 3000 calories would be 1.2 calories per gram). Now you when you eat, just put your empty serving bowl on the scale, tare it, and add your chili. You know each gram you put in is worth 1.2 calories. So, if you want 500 calories of chili, just have 416 grams of chili!!! (500/1.2) Simple math, and you eat what you need, not just a guess.

I'm not very smart I guess. Where do you find this food thing your talking about? It's it an app
