About this calculator
Calculating calories per serving is the simplest nutrition metric and the foundation for all macro / cost / portion math. Sum every ingredient's calorie contribution from your tracker (USDA FoodData Central, Cronometer, MyFitnessPal verified entries) and divide by the realistic serving count. Beware "8 servings" recipes that adults eat in 4 — the per-serving number is only useful if the serving size is honest.
