<human>: Hey there,
i stumbled across a few sites in the FAQ about counting calories.
which is great if im eating packaged foods.

What can I use if I am cooking myself?
Just add all the single ingredients together? Does it work like that?

For example, I have a single portion of rice, veggies, and chickenbreast (in a frozen dinner) for lunch. How do I use myfitnesspal to say 'frozen chicken tv dinner' and get an accurate calorie count

Note: this frozen dinner is like me cooking chicken, rice and veggies
80g rice
200g boneless skinless chicken, no sauces
200g frozen veggies, steamed
so, its like 
1/4lb of rice @ 100g
1/2lb of meat @ 200g
and then pretty much 1/2lb of veggies for a total of 1 1/4lbs of food. Is that too much? I do feel very content after eating it. It all fits within a 25oz ziploc container - and its easy to batch cook that all for the week.

And when I make soup, I make the tubs about 600-700grams.
and that is a Tortellini Minestrone soup, with spinach, carrots, onions, celery and mushrooms (and low sodium chicken broth).

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: If someone has a recommended site or something or some practice for counting calories on stuff that isint already labelled that would be much appreciated
