Does any one know of a recipe calculator that can tell you the nutritional value of a recipe. i used to have one from the First Place program but have mis-placed it. any ideas?

Thanks!:D

I use the one on myfitnesspal.com. It seems to be fairly accurate.

I use a site called Calorie Protein Counter. I have not yet tried to put in a recipe but the site has a tab for that.(I just noticed it today) I have just ben using it to figure out the calories and protein of what I am eating, but there are a few recipes that I would like to put in for more accuratge information.

There is a recipe builder on sparkpeople.com I use it all the time.. I also use it to log in my meals and exercise to keep me on track. Good luck!!:D

This is the one from spark people: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp

I use it for all my recipes. Only thing is, sometimes some of the calories are off on it so I always double check on a site like calorieking.com or fitday.com. So if you input something and the calories seem either really low or really high, just double check it.

I also use the one at My Fitness Pal. I love that entire program. I have yet to find a food item, grocery or restaurant, that is not in their database.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
