Recipe calculations can be such a pain sometimes! You should try using the recipe calculator on sparkrecipes.com. You just punch in what your ingredients are, and then tell it how many servings there will be. It will then give you the nutritional information for each serving.
So for those cookies you're making tonight, just go punch in every single ingredient. Then choose "20" as serving size, and a little window will pop up telling you what the nutritional information is for 1 cookie.

Im gonna have to go back to math class, ether that or eat it all at one sitting .
something low like serves 4 is no problem,
but a square of chocolate that serves 50 looks like a typo to me especially when I look at the pan I used...the normal square one..
then I am making cookies tonite, the recipe makes 20..so now 1/20? of a cookie in the Nutrition Tracker ? is that how that works? Gosh I hate being blode sometimes

If I understand your question right this might help.
If it says a serving is 2 cookies and you only want one, then put .5 in the spot for number of servings and it will cut the figures in half.
This might help with measurements of cups and such 1/8 = .125 1/6 = .166 1/5 = .2 1/4 = .25 1/2 = .5 3/4 = .75

I have been doing some of the receipies and I've run into a bit of a problem, or lack of understanding.
For instance, I made the Dreamy fudge recipe that I got in a email, it said it made 50 servings...so when I went to track it, it would only track at 50 servings...kinda wierd since I only wanted to track 2, so do I put 15o for my 2 servings?
Also when it says serves 4 is one thing but cookies that serve 20 and I only want one? How do I record that in my tracker,
