This Recipe Nutrition Calculator is built for food products, not restaurant meal searches. It starts with the ingredients and quantities used in a real batch, totals their nutrients, and divides those totals by the number of servings the batch produces. The result is a consistent per-serving view that can feed the Nutrition Facts label review process.
That distinction matters when you sell more than one package from a batch. A batch might make 10 jars, with 4 servings in each jar. The calculator treats 40 as the total recipe servings for nutrition math, while 10 remains the package count and 4 remains the servings-per-package label detail. Keeping these values separate helps the label preview match the product customers will actually buy.
The calculator is useful before you have a final label file, when the recipe is stable enough to review but packaging work is still in progress. It gives you a structured first pass on calories, fat, carbohydrate, sugars, protein, sodium, and other displayed nutrients, then carries the same recipe into the full Workspace for the next decisions.
