Paste your ingredient list, one ingredient per line, and add the number of servings. The calculator reads the amount and the ingredient on each line, turns pieces, spoons and tins into grams and adds up the nutrition values from the German Nutrient Database (BLS 4.0). The veggie chilli in the example has 392 kcal per serving when it serves 4. Anything it doesn’t recognise is shown line by line.

Example: Veggie chilli, serves 4
Paste the ingredient list, one ingredient per line, and add the number of servings. The calculator adds up the values of all ingredients and divides by the servings. In the example: veggie chilli with 1,566 kcal ÷ 4 = 392 kcal per serving.
From the German Nutrient Database (BLS 4.0) of the Max Rubner-Institut. For each ingredient the calculator takes the matching entry, raw or cooked.
They don’t count and are marked “not recognised” below your list. The values are then likely too low. A simple way of writing it with grams often helps, for example “200g chicken breast”.
Raw, as in the recipe and as you buy them. If a line says “cooked”, the calculator uses the cooked value. Cooking mainly removes water, so the values per serving stay almost the same.
Weigh the finished dish. Divide the calories of the whole recipe by its weight in grams and multiply by 100. The calories of the whole recipe are on the result card.
1 onion counts as 100 g, 1 tbsp olive oil as 14 g, a 400g tin of chopped tomatoes as 400 g and a 400g tin of chickpeas as 240 g drained. All weights are in the table.
