Did you actually choose the correct measurements for those items? Also, did you enter the # of servings in step 2 and click the button to calculate info?

I've tried to enter things and the calculator wants to add it's own measurements. For example, I made chili last week to freeze so it was a large batch. I entered : 2 - 14 oz can brown beans
l can red Kidney beans etc. Along with my spices and stuff. I marked it Serves 10 and I ended up with 2,365 calories per serving. There are other things also that the calculator doesn't do. I entered manually and when I went to look for the ingredient it wasn't there. I really don't understand why it won't calculate large batches.

I started using another site to calculate my recipes but I would much rather this one if someone could show me how it works.
