📚 Recipe Tips & Nutrition Guidelines

Accurate Measurements

For the most accurate nutrition information, always weigh your ingredients using a digital kitchen scale. Weight measurements are more precise than volume measurements, especially for solid ingredients.

Building Balanced Meals

A well-balanced meal typically includes:

  • Protein: 20-30% of total calories (chicken, fish, legumes, tofu)
  • Carbohydrates: 45-65% of total calories (whole grains, fruits, vegetables)
  • Fats: 20-35% of total calories (nuts, seeds, oils, avocado)
  • Fiber: Aim for 25-35g daily from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains

Meal Prep Tips

  • Prepare ingredients in bulk and store properly to maintain freshness
  • Use airtight containers to prevent nutrient loss
  • Label containers with contents and date prepared
  • Most prepared meals last 3-5 days in the refrigerator

💡 Pro Tip: Save your favorite recipes to quickly calculate nutrition for meals you eat regularly. This makes tracking your nutrition much easier!

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the nutrition information?

Our database contains verified nutrition data for thousands of foods. However, actual values may vary based on brands, preparation methods, and natural variations in food. For packaged foods, always check the label for the most accurate information.

Can I save my recipes?

Yes! All recipes are saved locally in your browser. You can access them anytime from the "Saved Recipes" section. Your recipes will remain saved as long as you don't clear your browser data.

How do I track cooked vs raw ingredients?

Our database includes both raw and cooked versions of many foods. Be sure to select the appropriate version based on when you're measuring. For example, "chicken breast (raw)" vs "chicken breast (cooked)".

What about cooking oil absorption?

When cooking with oil, not all of it is absorbed by the food. As a general rule, foods absorb about 10-25% of cooking oil. Add only the estimated absorbed amount to your recipe for more accurate calculations.
