FAQ
Where do the preset calorie values come from?
They're based on commonly published nutritional values for typical serving sizes of everyday ingredients, meant as a general reference rather than lab-verified figures.
Can I add ingredients not in the preset list?
Yes - choose "Custom ingredient" and enter the quantity and calories per unit yourself, using values from a nutrition label or database.
How is calories per serving calculated?
Total recipe calories are divided by the number of servings you specify - adjust the servings count to match how you plan to portion the dish.
How accurate is this for tracking purposes?
It's a helpful estimate for planning, but exact calorie counts depend on precise brands, preparation methods, and ingredient variations - use a food scale and verified nutrition labels for precise tracking.
