How We Calculate Nutrition

We use advanced methods to provide accurate nutrition information for every recipe

Quick Summary

Ingredient-by-ingredient calculation using a database of thousands of verified foods
Real cooking adjustments for oil absorption, water evaporation, and cooking methods
More accurate than basic calculators that simply add up ingredients

Each ingredient is matched to our verified nutrition database. Quantities are converted to grams using precise measurements.

We apply real-world factors: fried foods absorb only 8-15% of oil, water evaporates, and cooking methods affect nutrition differently.

Total recipe nutrition is divided by servings to show exactly what you're eating per portion.

Our calculations are more accurate than basic recipe calculators that simply add up ingredients.

Data from USDA FoodData Central and peer-reviewed scientific research on cooking processes.
