Nutrition Calculator Guide
This tool helps you analyze the nutritional content of your recipes by calculating calories, macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats), and additional User: nutrients (sugars, caffeine, vitamins, minerals) based on your ingredients.
How to Use the Nutrition Calculator
Use the following steps to calculate your recipe's nutritional breakdown:
- Enter Ingredient Name: Type an ingredient (e.g., "Beef, ribeye steak") and select from suggestions if available.
- Specify Amount: Input the quantity (e.g., "150").
- Select Unit: Choose "Grams (g)" or "Ounces (oz)" from the dropdown.
- Add Ingredients: Click "Add Ingredient" to include more items.
- Remove Ingredients: Click "Remove" next to an ingredient to delete it (at least one row must remain).
- Calculate: Click "Calculate Nutrition" to see the total nutritional analysis.
Understanding Nutritional Components
The calculator provides a detailed breakdown of nutrients per ingredient and totals:
Macronutrients
- Carbohydrates: Energy source (4 kcal/g), found in grains and vegetables.
- Proteins: Muscle repair (4 kcal/g), found in meat and legumes.
- Fats: Energy reserve (9 kcal/g), found in oils and nuts.
Additional Nutrients
- Sugars: Simple carbs (grams), found in fruits and sweets.
- Caffeine: Stimulant (milligrams), found in coffee and tea.
- Vitamins: Essential nutrients (e.g., A, B3), listed from all ingredients.
- Minerals: Key elements (e.g., Ca, Fe), summarized across inputs.
Factors Affecting Results
Calculated nutrition may vary due to:
Ingredient Variability
- Differences in sourcing (e.g., organic vs. conventional).
Preparation Methods
- Cooking alters nutrients (e.g., frying adds fat).
Input Accuracy
- Precise amounts ensure better results; use scales if possible.
