Home made food

I just made some potato salad using 6 medium red potatoes, 1 cup mayo, 1/2 cup yellow mustard, 2 ribs celery. How can I log this? Do I have to list each ingredient separately or can I make a list? How do I calculate calories?

List all ingredients and divide by the number of servings. Or google for a recipe builder. Several out there

[rbohland]

How do you figure the number of servings or doesn't it matter how big a portion is?

[WendyB]

Soups stews are normally a cup

Meats 3 to 4 oz 

Casseroles and these types of dishes usually make 8

Best thing to do is divde it evenly to what the recipe says

I don't understand your question doesn't matter the seving size. Everything should have a limit. 

Reason why we gain weight is not doing portion sizess

You can also have more than a serving size but you need to know what it is to count the calories correctly
