Nutrition facts

What is actually in it.

Calories, protein and the full micronutrient profile for 159 everyday foods. Every page takes a serving size and a cooking method and recalculates as you change them, because a poached egg and a fried egg are not the same number and most tables pretend they are.

Where these numbers come from

Every figure traces to USDA FoodData Central, the reference database behind most nutrition labelling in the United States. Each page cites the exact records it used, including the FDC ID, so you can check any number against the source. Across these 159 foods that is 302 separate USDA records.

Cooked values are the USDA records for those cooked forms, not a raw number with an adjustment applied. Where a food has several methods, each one is its own measured record. That is also the honest limit: how much oil stays in a pan is not something a database can know, so a fried figure is a fair average rather than a reading of your pan.
