Check out the Recipe Calculator available through SparkRecipes. You can calculate the nutritional value of a recipe by totaling the number of calories of its component ingredients. You can also find the calories of various ingredients by going to nutritional site such as Nutrition.gov, Calorie Count, NutritionData, and CalorieKing.
There are also several smart phone apps such as GoMeals, MyFitnessPal, LIVESTRONG.COM’s Calorie Tracker, Calorie Counter by FatSecret, Tap & Track, Calorie Counter Pro, and Absolute Fitness, (many of which are free) that enable you to find the nutritional value of various foods and even create custom dishes that include the total nutritional value of their component ingredients.
When using these sites, we recommend only adding together calories of component ingredients as used in your recipes (e.g. 1 cup of flour + 1 cup of sugar + one cup of butter = all the calories for pound cake) and not going on the nutritional information provided for completed dishes, whose caloric value may vary widely from that of your own recipe.
