Detailed nutrition facts for any food

Frequently asked questions

What does the nutrition checker show?

Search 7,800+ foods and get the full breakdown for any portion: calories and macros (protein, carbs, fat, fibre); total sugars and the individual sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose); every vitamin and mineral with its % Daily Value; saturated fat, cholesterol and omega-3 (EPA/DHA); the complete amino-acid profile with a complete-protein check; and caffeine.

Where does the nutrition data come from?

The USDA FoodData Central database (SR Legacy), which is public-domain (CC0). Values are per 100 g of edible portion, rounded for readability, and scaled to the portion you pick. Plain Indian flatbreads — roti, makki, jowar, rice and bajra roti — are calculated from USDA-measured flours and labelled “Calculated”, with the method shown. A few prepared dishes SR Legacy doesn't carry (paneer, dosa, biryani…) are included too, but their calories and macros are typical-recipe estimates rather than lab measurements — they're clearly labelled “Estimate”, and have no vitamin, mineral or amino-acid data.

What does “% DV” mean?

The percentage of the FDA adult Daily Value that your chosen portion provides — so 90 mg of vitamin C is 100% DV. It's a quick way to see whether a food is high or low in a nutrient. A dash means USDA has no measurement of that nutrient for that food.

What is the “complete protein” check?

It scores a food's nine essential amino acids against the FAO/WHO reference pattern. If every essential amino acid meets the reference, the protein is “complete”; otherwise the tool names the limiting amino acid (for example, grains are usually limited by lysine). It's shown only when the food has a full amino-acid profile.

Does it really show vitamins and minerals for each food?

Yes — Vitamin A, C, D, E, K, the B-vitamins and folate, plus calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, sodium, zinc and more, each with its % Daily Value. This is the depth most calorie apps leave out.

Can I share a food's nutrition facts?

Yes. Share sends a nutrition card image (calories, macros, calorie split, protein quality and top vitamins and minerals) through your phone's share sheet, Save image downloads it as a PNG, and Copy link gives a link that reopens the same food at the same portion. The image is drawn in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Is anything I search uploaded?

No. The nutrition database is delivered to your browser once and every lookup runs locally — what you search for is never sent to a server, and there's no account.

Is this medical or dietary advice?

No. This tool gives general, informational estimates, not personalised medical, nutritional or fitness advice. Talk to a doctor or registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have a health condition.
