Nutrition calculator

Hi everyone! I am creating a nutrition calculator for recipes. This is the very first version! I am very keen to hear what you would like to see for the next iterations :).

What do I have in mind for the next versions?

  • Being able to search for multiple foods
  • Select a different measure other than 100 g
  • Include more nutrition data (vitamins, minerals, etc.)
  • Create plots to compare foods
  • Being able to save and print current selections
  • Add more data from other sources

How can I use it?

  • Search. Use the search field to look for a food. Note that you can separate foods by a “,”. For example, if you want to look at the nutrition of tomatoes and cacao, you can type tomatoes, cacao.
  • Edit quantity. Quantity by default is 100 g. You can modify it by editing the field manually, the values automatically get updated as you type.

The data comes from this spreadsheet and it is from the USDA release 28 (2016) version.

I decided to create this nutrition calculator, because the current apps that help you with understanding the nutrition of different foods, are no very user friendly! I hope you find this tool useful to plan your meals!
