Does anyone know if there is a website that I can enter in food ingredients and it will calculate the nutritional value? I have tons of recipes without the info and I am doing Weight Watchers so I've been trying to figure this out. Thanks.
Go to www.sparkpeople.com. It's free and has all kinds of tools you can use, including the calculator that you want.
Two sites that I really like are sparkrecipes.com and nutritiondata.com. Sparkrecipes is a part of sparkpeople.com a diet and fitness site that I joined to help me lose weight and get in shape. I enjoy it. I find it fun to input recipes and see how to make them healthier. Both of these are free and easy to use. Hope this helps.
FITDAY.com, it's awesome!
I have used a program for several years now that I really like for this purpose. You can download a free trial from
www.recipecalc.com You can use it free for 20 days, then you must buy it to continue using it. The price is $24.00. As you type your recipe into the program, it calculates the Nutritional values in each ingredient. Then when you put in the number of servings, it calculates a per serving value.
There's an excellent website I use for that: it's sparkpeople.com. It's a free diet website and you can get all kinds of nutritional information there, including many vitamins and minerals. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
I find both sparkpeople's sparkrecipes and nutritiondata.com very useful. Both use USDA data, but allow calculations from input items.
www.thedailyplate.com has a recipe calculator.

I'm looking for a reliable website with nutrition info (ie: how to read nutrition labels, etc.) Can anyone offer me suggestions on site(s) they have liked/had good results with?

Sparkpeople.com has lots of nutritional info and weight related info.
You can get information from the USDA and sites for Child Nutrition Programs. Some of these sites will also list phone numbers.
www.fns.usda.gov/cnd
www.living-foods.com/
rawfoodlife.com/
www.lessonplanet.com/
www.uen.org/
I would like to share an awesome web-site with all of you looking for nutrition values for recipes shared on here and are also calorie counting.
