Search Food

Add food from its nutrition label

Use the calories and serving weight printed on the label, then enter the weight you ate. Calories = label kcal × eaten grams ÷ label grams.

Optional: grams of protein, carbs and fat for the same label serving. Leave unknown values blank.

Built-in foods are fixed-portion estimates, without verified source records. Product, preparation and portion size can differ. Use your label or check a matching FoodData Central record. The default goals are editable examples. A US Nutrition Facts label commonly states values per serving. Enter that serving’s weight in grams and its calories, then the grams actually eaten. If one serving is 30 g and 120 kcal, eating 45 g contributes 180 kcal. Do not use servings per container as the gram weight.

Macro totals include only recorded values; a dash means that value was not entered.

Standards and research behind this tool, from official specifications to peer-reviewed studies.

Everyday health tracking works best in small, countable units. The US National Academies' Dietary Reference Intakes set general guidance for daily water, potassium, and sodium needs, around which hydration trackers are designed. Step counting, sleep hours, and weekly habit streaks follow the same principle that behavior scientist BJ Fogg teaches: tiny, measurable actions repeated daily are more durable than ambitious goals. Counters make those units visible without an account or an app.
