Recipe Calorie Calculator

Know exactly what a serving of your recipe costs you

Nutrition labels cover packaged food, but the meals you cook at home are a mystery unless you do the math yourself. This calculator makes that math painless: list every ingredient in your recipe with its calorie count, tell it how many servings the recipe makes, and it instantly shows the total calories for the whole dish and the calories in a single serving. The math is simple and transparent — total calories are the sum of every ingredient row, and per-serving calories are that total divided by your serving count. Because you enter each ingredient's calories yourself (from the package label or any nutrition reference you trust), the result reflects your exact brands, quantities, and substitutions rather than a generic database guess. Everything runs in your browser, so your recipes never leave your device. Figures are estimates only, not professional or medical advice; ingredient calorie counts and portion sizes vary.

How to use it

1. Type an ingredient name in the first box of a row — include the amount, like "butter, 3 tbsp", so you remember what you counted.
2. Enter that ingredient's calories in the box beside it, taken from the package label or your preferred nutrition reference for the amount used.
3. Click "+ Add ingredient" for more rows, or the × button to remove one you no longer need.
4. Set the number of servings the recipe makes, and read the per-serving and total calories in the results — they update live as you type.

FAQ

Where do I find calories for each ingredient?

Use the nutrition label on the package and scale it to the amount your recipe uses. For fresh produce, meat, or bulk items, any nutrition reference works — just enter the number for the quantity you actually used.

Should I count the whole package or just what I used?

Only what goes into the recipe. If a label says 100 calories per tablespoon and you use three, enter 300.

Does cooking change the calorie count?

Cooking changes weight and water content but not total calories in any meaningful way for home tracking. Count the raw ingredients you added and divide by servings.

Is my recipe saved or uploaded anywhere?

No. The calculator runs entirely in your browser with no accounts, uploads, or tracking — refreshing the page clears your entries.
