    6. Note  The serving size is only a label and does not affect the nutrition calculation. Living Cookbook calculates recipe nutrition by determining the total nutrition for the entire recipe and then dividing that total by the number of servings in the recipe. We recommend that you only change the serving value here if you have an alternative label for a single serving (e.g. "1 slice" or "2 cookies")..

  6. Enter the nutrition information.
  7. Click Calculate From Ingredients.
  8. Click OK.

Note  The serving size must correspond to the nutrition information entered.

Note  Living Cookbook can only calculate nutrition information for the recipe if the recipe ingredients have been linked to the ingredient database.
