Recipie question...

Intresting... I was thinking about something like that too but was hoping there was a easier way.

It would be cool (read: programming nightmare) if you could enter a recipie, save it then say I ate one cup.  I just have no idea how you would do that.

I took your advice... Guestimated one bowl (1cup) was about 10% of the batch... so its about 216 calories a bowl. Not a bad meal!

Thanks for the help!

The 216 is close.  This is the 'average' calorie count for chili:

»   Chili - Turkey - (1 cup)  203 
»   Chili - Vegetarian - (1 cup)  205 
»   Chili - with Beans - (1 cup)  240 
»   Chili - without Beans - (1 cup)  194

That's exactly why I try and cook recipes from Cooking Light and Eating Well magazines...  all the nutrition info is there, so I add the meal as a custom food, and make the Kcals, protein, fat and carbs (the only thing I care about, although those 2 mags have more info)

I make the standard 1 portion size, not the whole batch so that if I make a double batch of something or 1/2, it doesn't matter I just  log 1 portion.

It's really hard to get accurate nutritional info by adding up the individual ingredients.
