    I tried to google it, but I can't seem to find the information I want, it is easy to find recipes, the hard part is to get the nutrition value of it, can you help?

    www.fitday.com should be able to help you. Register for a free account with them. They have a huge database of the nutritional info of most foods, although sometimes you need to do a bit of navigating before you find exactly what you're looking for, as it's an American site and it contains a lot of American products.

    If you look up 'food tables' you will get a list of foods and the nutritional information per hundred grams, you can use this to work it out.

    You take the nutritional info of each ingredient. Multiply it by the quantity you are using. Add together nutritional info from all components. This is the nutritional info for what you have made, roughly (some things alter in processing/cooking).

    I use sparkpeople, it is a similar idea to fitday.
    But it has a recipes database, where the nutritional value is already calculated. Check out www.sparkrecipes.com
    Only problem is the measures are american.
