About Nutrients

» Nutrients

Food's value in nutrients are usually given for 100g of food. It doesn't make a lot of sense if you want to decide what to eat: one doesn't eat the same way 100g of bread, 100g of cinnamon or 100g of butter!

In the Food Nutrients Calculator, each food's value in nutrients is computed according to an appropriate food portion. You still have the value for 100g
