Write down all of the ingredients of the homemade dish. Include the amount of each individual ingredient. For example, if you were making spaghetti with meat sauce, your list may include 6 cups spaghetti, 12 oz. tomato sauce and 1 lb. ground turkey breast.
Look up the calorie content of each of the ingredients in your homemade dish. For example, according to USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, 6 cups spaghetti, 12 oz. tomato sauce and 1 lb. ground turkey breast have 1,319 calories, 88 calories and 681 calories respectively.
Add the calories of all of the ingredients together. For example, 6 cups spaghetti, 12 oz. tomato sauce and 1 lb. ground turkey breast have a total of 2088 calories.
Divide the total calories of your homemade dish by its number of servings to determine the amount of calories in each serving. For example, if your spaghetti dish serves six people, divide 2088 calories by six, to arrive at the product of 348 calories per serving.
