How do you calculate the calories in a dish/soup?!
I combined many ingredients together w/water and chicken broth and butter..so do I just measure the calories in each ingredient and then add it all together?
For some reason, I can't help but think that calories change when you cook something. I know, sounds dumb. But thanks in advance!

The only food that changes calories when cooked would be meat, especially fatty meats. The fat cooks out by dripping away or by being poured off, like from a pan of hamburger. Here is a calculator that can help you figure the calories in a recipe. http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_…
Calories do not change. You add them all up and that would be the cals for the whole pot of soup
