Any web site that totals a recipe's calories?

17 years ago

I am new to this site and am hoping someone can direct me to a website where I can put in the ingredients of a recipe and get a total number of calories per serving.

This would enable me to figure out which recipes are healthier versus which ones to stay away from.

I've been using SparkPeople to track calories. I think they might have a place where you can total recipes.

You can go to Dietpower.com and there is a terrific program they sell that can calculate recipes and they have like 30,000 food in there database. and most of the fastfoods too. i believe the program is $ 49.00 however you can get a trail for 15 days and they get another one for additional 15 days.

I have used this program off and on for over 2 years and when i do i follow regualrly i have lost 10 - 20 ponds

Here is a link that might be useful: www.dietpower.com

The people responsible for approving memberships and adding the ability to join certain forums have very busy lives outside of HT. They get to it as quickly as possible. Members don't have to be logged in to read, only to respond. I don't bother logging in unless I have something to say. There's a big difference between HT and GW. HT is privately owned. Two very busy people do the best they can and don't earn a penny for their efforts. GW is owned by iVillage where people are paid to run this forum. They both provide great services to us for free.

I went looking for some info on Hostas, and now I can say I am a hostaholic. From there I discovered the Winter Sowing forum and also discovered that I have a very addictive personality. Now lets see, I go to the pond forum, annuals, Canadian forum ect. ect. ect. I really need help. lol Hubby doesn't know what to do, know I have bags of potting soil stashed in the basement, containers coming out the wazoo, Hostas that I don't have room to plant, seeds drying all over the house, plans for a pond next year and a new garden bed that I'll be starting any day. He just shakes his head. I really hope I get this second job I applied for. Brenda

How do I figure out calories for a recipe?

I use MasterCook and it does the work for me. There are other cooking programs that also can figure the calories (plus amounts of carbs, fiber, fat, cholestrol, protein and more). It isn't a perfect system though- it just adds the nutrition information for each ingredient. So if you fry something in a cup of oil, it will calculate the nutrition information based on a cup of oil, even though you don't actually eat it all. But it does give you a good idea on what you are eating. Best thing about MasterCook is that you can make menues and see your daily totals without a heck of a lot of work. I'm all for the quick and easy way! I don't think MasterCook is still being produced, but you can find other programs like it and they aren't too expensive. Many also come with tons of recipes, plus you can add your own.

Did you get the medical check up first? Talk to the dietitian to make sure you get balanced meals. Do you have any health issues? Just starting out cold turkey may not be good for anyone.

I know a great one--www. nutritiondata.com and it is free. It allows you to analyse any recipe, menu, or single food. Also has info on various prepared foods. Good luck!

I like www.nutritiondata.com, too for looking up nutritional values and analyzing recipes. Even though I belong to **another** fee-based eDiet website, I still think nutritiondata.com is a fantastic resource.
