How do I calculate the nutrition facts of my recipe?
Now, to calculate a nutrition fact for my recipe do I just add up the servings of the ingredients. Like 1 c flour = x Calories, then 2 c sugar = y calories and then do like x + y = total calories, or how would I do that?

You would add up all the calories from all the ingredients that are in your recipe, then divide it by the number of servings in your recipe.
For example, if you were making cookies, you would add the calories of 2 sticks of butter, 2 cups of flour, 2 cups of sugar, etc. then divide by the number of cookies you get.
Yes, that’s the best you can do without having a meal analysed in a laboratory.
Total the calories from ingredients used and divide it by the number of servings for the dish.
Yes – that is how it is done.
If you are using an ingredient that does not come with a nutritional facts label – you can look up the information here: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/ that is the official nutritional guide from the USDA
Have fun.
