Input the nutrition information for your ingredients and let the system automatically calculate the nutrition information for your recipes.

Add nutrition info to a single ingredient

When creating an ingredient, you can add nutritional information directly. Simply click the "View Nutritional Info" button in the Ingredient pop-up, then enter the values for macronutrients and other nutrients per unit.

Auto-calculate the nutrition information for a recipe

In the Recipe Builder, navigate to the Nutrition Info tab and toggle the Auto-calculated feature on.

Each time you switch between calculation methods, you will be prompted to confirm your choice.

The system will automatically calculate the nutritional information for your recipe per serving based on the ingredients you've added. 

Nutrient info of the recipe = Total nutrient content of all ingredients / Number of servings

Note: If the unit selected in the Ingredients tab is not on the allowed list for the category, the value will be cleared. The system will then automatically select the first allowed unit from the list for your ingredient.

The unit list in the "Amount Per" section will be based on the selected category, as detailed below.
