The recipes total calorie count is then divided by the suggested number of servings to give a value for calories per person.

===What foods have the highest calories?===
As someone who had not paid much attention to the calorific values of foods, in creating Cookipedia's calorie calculator, I was amazed at the massively high calories of certain foods, namely:
'''''per 100g serving'''''
* Fatty meats, eg duck & pork: 850+ calories
* Most oils and fats: 800+ calories
* Most nuts and seeds: 670+ calories
* Coconut milk: 620+ calories
* Creamy/ cheesy sauces, 500+ calories
* Chocolate, 500+ calories
And bear in mind that 100g is not  massive serving.  In short, keep off the fatty ingredients and eat much less!
