How do you calculate grams per serving?

In: Cooking Measurements [Recategorize]

[Edit]

There are three ways to do this

Generally, foods are analyzed in a lab to determine the nutritional content. This is how the nutrition counts on most labels are determined, and it is the most accurate way.

In some cases, home cooks will add up the nutrition counts of all the ingredients, to get a nutrition count. For example, if I'm making chicken salad with chicken that has 20 g of protein, and an egg with 7 g of protein, the total recipe has 27 g of protein.

Some cookbook programs such as Master Cook are available. When you type in a recipe, they have a feature that will estimate the nutritional information, based on the ingredients.
