Amount per serving

nutrient-compositionserving

How can I calculate the Amount Per Serving label in the nutrition facts.

Not basing it as a recipe where it is already stated but by ingredients. For example, I have a customized recipe, I want to know the amounts per serving based on my ingredients.

You set it arbitrarily, although hopefully based on some reasonable single portion size. Once you have the serving size, you calculate the nutritional information based upon it.

There is some rumor of stronger regulation forthcoming in the US to make portion size claims on labels more realistic, but that is not the case at this time.
