How to calculate calories, etc from a recipe?

[Guest guest]

I just got a great cook book in the mail today - its called 'Vegan

Lunch Box'. But it doesn't include any nutritional information.

 

Most of the recipes seem very healthy - but I'm still counting calories

and I would like to plug in the ingredients/servings/etc to see what it

would be?

 

Any thoughts?

Cara,

you lucky girl I have wanted that cookbook for some time but have so many

other ones maybe you can post your favorites. I love her blog. It is a lot of

trouble to have to type up all the food but I love the website mypyramid.gov you

can go to the food tracker or print out custom made food logs that tell you how

much of each food group to eat. The problem is a lot of veggy foods are not

listed like TVP. If anyone else from the group knows of a better site I would

like to know also.

Don't know if it's better, but someone this morning pointed me to this one:

But no TVP there either However, it IS at:

Is there ever a perfect site? *sigh*
