This tool helps you calculate the total calories in your recipe based on the ingredients you input.
Recipe Calorie Calculator
To use this calculator, enter the ingredient name and the quantity in grams. Click on ‘Calculate’ to find out the total calories for the entered quantity of the ingredient.
How it Works
This calculator uses predefined calorie values for common ingredients. When you input the ingredient and quantity, it multiplies the quantity in grams by the calories per gram for that ingredient to give you the total calorie count.
Example Usage
If you input ‘apple’ as the ingredient and ‘100’ as the quantity, the calculator will return ‘52.00 kcal’ as apples have 0.52 calories per gram.
Limitations
This calculator only includes a limited set of ingredients. If an ingredient is not listed, it cannot calculate the calories for that ingredient. Additionally, it assumes an average calorie count for each ingredient, so variations in specific products or cooking methods are not taken into account.
