    It calculates at over 1100 calories because that's for the entire recipe. You have to decide how many servings you want it to make then do a makeover to get the nutritional facts... - 10/9/12

    It is wonderful! However, I personally think the cheese is unnecessary, so have left it out after the first batch. - 1/5/14

    It would more helpful if "servings" were measured in terms of cups rather than the whole recipe. - 2/2/11

    Never even seen a wheat berry. I guess I need to look around. - 9/28/20

    (FYI, your nutritional information is for ONE SERVING. You'll need to divide the numbers by 4 or 6, depending on serving size.) - 9/7/14
