How are calories calculated per person?

For each dish, we compute calories per serving (total dish calories divided by total servings). Each person's share is the sum of (servings they had × calories per serving) across all dishes.

What if a person did not eat a particular dish?

Leave their serving count at 0 for that dish. Only dishes with a non-zero serving count contribute to their total.

Where do I find the calorie count for a dish?

Check the recipe nutrition label, a nutrition database like USDA FoodData Central, or the restaurant menu. Enter the total calories for the whole dish as prepared.

Can I enter fractional servings?

Yes. Decimal values like 0.5 or 1.5 are accepted for both total servings and individual portions.

Is my data saved anywhere?

No. All calculations happen locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
