Calculating calories if you want to try these recipes on 5:2

    Hi there, I came across a site that will calculate calories, carbs, protein and other nutritional info just by you inputting the ingredients and how many people it serves. It seems to be UK based, so works in grams and normal measurements rather than US measurements. It is at verywell.com, go to menu, tools and Recipe Nutrition Calculator. It will then calculate a ‘nutrition label’ giving you the details as if you were buying this ready made in a store. Seems pretty cool to me.

    There is also a more detailed analysis at https://www.fitwatch.com/tools/recipe-analyzer but the measurements and items are a bit weird to me as they are US based, and also include pre packaged foods as well as raw ingredients, so I found it a little difficult to use.

    Would be great to hear if anyone has heard of any other sites or apps, or has calculated all the calorie and nutrition info for all the recipes in Michael’s book already?!!
