You can use Truvia, Stevia or Splenda in place of the sugar and save some calories.

Measure this out into 6 small bowls in equal amounts until you use it all and write that down. Then you will know how much a serving is. Sort of like measuring equal amounts into 3 cake pans.

We are currently working on adding the nutritional info to all of the recipes on the MrFood site. It is an arduous process and one that takes some time.
