Working out calories for my son EDIT: NOW RESOLVED

Help with recipe builder - can't work out portions by weight!
I've attempted to use the recipe builder for the first time for a fruit cocktail thingy. All entered satisfactorily, no problem with that. The whole lot comes to 604 calories if I log it as one serving and weighs 1075g (ingredients only). How do I then work out how much, say, 100g worth is calories-wise, or 120g, or 150g?…

Braggs Liquid Aminos - calorie content?
I'm in the UK and this is not commonly found here. However, thanks to reading various posts here about it, I now have some courtesy of Amazon. I used it for the first time last night over a huge plate of roasted veg - oh my! Now my new obsession, ha! It does say 0 cals per teaspoon (5ml), but there must be some in it? I'm…

Nearly 70lbs down - getting there...
I would still like to lose another stone or perhaps more (I'll see when I get there), but as I've taken my first ever selfie today, I thought I'd share my progress. The 'before' pic was taken in February 2016. I was 233lbs. At the beginning of April I began to calorie count and have lost 68lbs so far. It's not been that…

Logging 'walking' by distance, rather than by time - is it possible?
Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but I'd like to log the distance I've walked. The only option I can see available is logging by time (and walk speed). Is there a distance option somewhere? Thanks :)

Short, old(ish), sedentary, 1200kcals and 15-20,000 steps a day
I've lost 65lbs or so now, earlier by restricting calories through guesswork and more recently through using the tools on this site. I've also read a lot of threads here and taken on board some excellent advice. I'm 55 years old, 5ft 1" tall and sedentary - apart from walking between 15-20,000 steps a day through a mix of…

Post menopausal - want to start strength/resistance training to reduce muscle loss, need advice
I know I have to start some sort of strength/resistance training to avoid losing muscle mass (I'm 5 years post menopause and on estrogen-stripping medication). I've had lots of good advice telling me this, but I really don't know where to start. It's not something I'm looking forward to doing particularly, so I don't want…

Calculator for estimating calories burnt walking per mile/km?
The calculators for estimating calories burnt whilst walking that I've found so far, seem to be based on time. I'm trying to estimate calories burnt of steps taken throughout an entire day. Anyone know where I'll find a good calculator for this, please?

Sriracha sauce - who knew!
Thanks to the lovely people here I've discovered Sriracha sauce. I read about it, searched for it and found that my UK supermarkets didn't have any, so I ordered it from Amazon. I'm in love. I've been having it on everything for the past week. Any other UK'rs want to try this, I've just been to Aldi where they're selling…
