Tips for Better Accuracy

  • Search with a portion unit (1 cup, 100g, 1 slice) so results are clearer.
  • Pick cooked vs raw (calories can change after cooking).
  • Add extras like oil, sauce, cheese, and dressing (they add up fast).
  • Use the closest match if you can’t find the exact brand, then adjust.
  • Save frequent foods so your daily logging becomes effortless.

Why do calorie counts differ between sources?

Brands use different ingredients, restaurant recipes vary, and cooking oils can change the final number. Use a consistent source and focus on long-term trends.

Can I find calories for restaurant meals?
