How Much Food Gives a Nutrient Amount?
Pick a food, a nutrient and an amount, and see how many grams of the food that corresponds to. Household measures are shown only where the source lists them.
How it works
- Choose a food and a nutrient (or arrive from a nutrient ranking with the nutrient already chosen).
- Enter the amount you want, or switch to "What is in this amount?" and enter a weight.
- The answer, the calculation and the source record are shown; the result updates as you type.
What to keep in mind
- This is arithmetic on the recorded value per 100 g, not a dietary recommendation.
- A very large quantity is flagged as unrealistic rather than presented as a target.
- Natural variation, cooking losses and absorption are not modelled.
- Not medical advice.
Where the numbers come from
The same 892 foods and 34 nutrients as the food profiles and rankings, from USDA FoodData Central, UK CoFID and the Canadian Nutrient File, with the source record shown for every value. One calculation engine runs in your browser; nothing you enter is sent anywhere. About our data.
