Question about adding a recipe to MFP

Uncategorized Oct 05, 2021

I don't think that I am entering recipes into MFP correctly. Will you please look at this information and tell me if it's right, and if it's not tell me what I did wrong? Here's the recipe:
1 lb mushrooms
3 Tbsp. Olive oil
1 can diced tomatoes
14.5 oz can tomato paste
1 onion diced
4 minced garlic cloves
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp oregano
1 lb pasta uncooked
I entered all the ingredients and MFP and made the servings six. After it's cooked and put it all together and I weighed it on my scale minus the weight of the pot it was in. It came out to 2,301g. I weighed a serving for myself which weighed 183g then went into MFP and changed the total servings to 183 g. It came out to 130 calories, 22.1 carbs, , 3.1g fat and 4.4g protein. That just seems low to me and that's why I am questioning if I did this right or not. Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer: When you enter the recipe into MFP you'll want to enter the total numbers of servings as 2301. Then if you eat 183 grams, you'll enter that you ate 183 servings. If you prefer to enter 6 servings, then you'll need to divide 2301/6 and each serving would be 383 grams. By entering the number of servings as the total weight, it requires you to do less math.
