About the Recipe Calories Calculator

Recipe Calories is treated here as a quantitative relation between Number of Servings, Ingredient 1 - Weight, Ingredient 1 - Cal/100g and Ingredient 2 - Weight and Total Recipe Calories, Calories Per Serving and Total Recipe Weight.

The calculator uses a multi formula configuration. Each reported value is read as a direct evaluation of the stored rules with the declared field formats and units.

Formula basis:
For each ingredient: calories = weight x (cal/100g) / 100. Sum all ingredients for total. Divide by servings for per-serving calorie count.

Interpret the outputs in the order shown by the result fields. Optional inputs affect only the outputs that depend on those variables.

Formula & How It Works

The calculation applies the following relations exactly as recorded in the metadata:

For each ingredient: calories = weight x (cal/100g) / 100. Sum all ingredients for total. Divide by servings for per-serving calorie count.

Each output field is produced by substituting the supplied inputs into the relevant relation and then applying the declared rounding or text format.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Chicken pasta recipe: 4 servings

Inputs

servings: 4 ing1_g: 400 ing1_cal: 120 ing2_g: 400 ing2_cal: 150 ing3_g: 100 ing3_cal: 884 ing4_g: 50 ing4_cal: 403 ing5_g: 20 ing5_cal: 30 ing6_g: 0 ing6_cal: 0
Total Recipe Calories: 2,172 kcal. Calories Per Serving: 543 kcal. Total Recipe Weight: 970 g

With Number of Servings = 4, Ingredient 1 - Weight = 400, Ingredient 1 - Cal/100g = 120 and Ingredient 2 - Weight = 400 as the stated inputs, the result is Total Recipe Calories = 2,172 kcal, Calories Per Serving = 543 kcal and Total Recipe Weight = 970 g. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.

Example 2: Chocolate chip cookies (24 cookies from recipe)

Inputs

servings: 24 ing1_g: 280 ing1_cal: 364 ing2_g: 200 ing2_cal: 387 ing3_g: 227 ing3_cal: 717 ing4_g: 2 ing4_cal: 0 ing5_g: 170 ing5_cal: 546 ing6_g: 100 ing6_cal: 155
Total Recipe Calories: 4,504 kcal. Calories Per Serving: 188 kcal. Total Recipe Weight: 979 g

With Number of Servings = 24, Ingredient 1 - Weight = 280, Ingredient 1 - Cal/100g = 364 and Ingredient 2 - Weight = 200 as the stated inputs, the result is Total Recipe Calories = 4,504 kcal, Calories Per Serving = 188 kcal and Total Recipe Weight = 979 g. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.

Example 3: Homemade granola (8 servings, ½ cup each)

Inputs

servings: 8 ing1_g: 300 ing1_cal: 389 ing2_g: 60 ing2_cal: 884 ing3_g: 85 ing3_cal: 304 ing4_g: 60 ing4_cal: 294 ing5_g: 5 ing5_cal: 0 ing6_g: 2 ing6_cal: 0
Total Recipe Calories: 2,132 kcal. Calories Per Serving: 267 kcal. Total Recipe Weight: 512 g

With Number of Servings = 8, Ingredient 1 - Weight = 300, Ingredient 1 - Cal/100g = 389 and Ingredient 2 - Weight = 60 as the stated inputs, the result is Total Recipe Calories = 2,132 kcal, Calories Per Serving = 267 kcal and Total Recipe Weight = 512 g. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.

Example 4: Smoothie bowl (1 serving)

Inputs

servings: 1 ing1_g: 150 ing1_cal: 91 ing2_g: 100 ing2_cal: 57 ing3_g: 120 ing3_cal: 61 ing4_g: 30 ing4_cal: 589 ing5_g: 15 ing5_cal: 884 ing6_g: 10 ing6_cal: 387
Total Recipe Calories: 615 kcal. Calories Per Serving: 615 kcal. Total Recipe Weight: 425 g

With Number of Servings = 1, Ingredient 1 - Weight = 150, Ingredient 1 - Cal/100g = 91 and Ingredient 2 - Weight = 100 as the stated inputs, the result is Total Recipe Calories = 615 kcal, Calories Per Serving = 615 kcal and Total Recipe Weight = 425 g. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
