About the Serving Size Calculator
What is the Serving Size Calculator?
This serving size calculator splits a batch of food into equal portions by weight.
Add calories per 100 g to see calories per serving or the portion for a calorie target.
How to use the Serving Size Calculator
- Total Cooked Weight (g) (sample: 1,200)
- Number of Servings (sample: 6)
- Calories per 100 g (optional) (sample: 150)
- Target Calories per Serving (optional) (sample: 0)
- Press Calculate Servings (results also refresh as you type). The result card shows the Serving Size, along with Calories per serving, Total calories in the dish and Tip.
Formula used
Serving = Total weight ÷ Servings; Portion for target = Target kcal ÷ kcal per 100 g × 100
