Divide total by servings
Use a food scale for accuracy. Volume measurements (cups, tablespoons) can vary significantly based on how you pack ingredients.
Enter raw/uncooked weights for meats. Cooking reduces weight by 25-30% due to water loss, but calories stay the same.
Olive oil adds 120 calories per tablespoon. This is often forgotten but can significantly impact total calories.
If a recipe makes 4 cups, divide by 4 for per-serving calories. Weigh finished dish for most accuracy.
Add each ingredient with its weight or volume to this calculator. The tool sums all calories and macros, then divides by the number of servings you specify. For best accuracy, use a food scale and enter raw weights for meats.
No, cooking doesn't change calorie content, but it does change weight due to water loss. For example, 100g of raw chicken breast has 165 calories. After cooking, it may weigh only 75g, but it still contains 165 calories. This is why you should use raw weights.
Very accurate when you weigh ingredients precisely. The main sources of error are: estimating portions instead of weighing, forgetting oils and fats used in cooking, and not accounting for marinades or sauces that get discarded.
Only count the marinade that's actually consumed. If you discard the marinade, only about 10-20% of its calories are absorbed by the food. If the marinade becomes a sauce, count all of it.
