Is Kcal the same as calories...? I'm sorry, math is not my strong point and I just want to make sure. So ONE serving is 1048 calories?
I so appreciate everything this site does and how accommodating it is. My main concern is I never know what a serving is. There are 4 servings but what does that mean in terms of quantity? This is my biggest challenge with the recipes on here.
Like one serving is 100 grams of chicken, 3 grams of sauce, 3 grams of spinach etc. That would be SO helpful for math challenged and time strapped people like me. :)
You can change the serving size to 1 in the drop down menu to get individual serving nutritional info.
But in almost all cases it should work to change the serving size to one.
