Make sense of serving sizes
Use nutrition-label information to add up a meal. You provide the food names and nutrient values; no food database is assumed.
The idea in practice
For each food, enter the number of label servings eaten and the calories, protein, carbohydrate and fat in one serving. For a label per 100 g, eating 150 g means 1.5 servings.
Keep the result in perspective
Check whether the label describes raw, cooked or drained food. Add oils, sauces and drinks separately. Missing values must be filled; zero is accepted for a nutrient that is absent.
