Nutritional Chart?

[Chef Munky]

I've been looking for a nutritional chart that will analyze my recipes. I'd just like to insert a recipe and it can then tell me where I have to omit or substitute an ingredient. My husbands on a no sugar/ carb diet. I just have to watch my sodium intake.
How accurate are those charts? Who's right?

Thank you
Munky.

Munky, if you find such a thing, I'd like to know about it too. I'm on your husband's diet, and here's a recipe I tried and really liked.

Greek Chicken and Spinach - 60105 - Recipezaar

I've posted recipe's myself there, and they come up with a custom nutritional chart for each recipe. I don't know if you'd want to go to the trouble of posting each recipe there, to get the information, but it's an idea.

This recipe software seems to have what I've been looking for.Tried a few that wasn't exactly user friendly. Editing was a nightmare. No chart that I've come across will give you a guaranteed analysis, only an estimate. I gave up on that one. The USDA won't even do it.

They offer a free trial. I'll probably just spend the $20.00 and get the full meal deal ( Upgrades are free )
