What does this tool do?
The calories in a portion are the recipe total divided by the number of equal servings. If you weigh the finished dish, the calculator also gives calories per 100 g, which is useful when portions are cut unevenly.
The Formula
Calories per serving = total calories ÷ servings; calories per 100 g = total calories ÷ cooked weight × 100Frequently Asked Questions
What if the servings are uneven?
Use the cooked weight and the per-100 g figure, then weigh each portion. This is more accurate than dividing by an estimated number of servings.
Do I use raw or cooked calories?
Use the calorie total for the recipe as eaten, and divide by the number of portions actually served. If you track ingredients raw, account for water lost or gained during cooking.
