Frequently Asked Questions
Our database contains calorie and nutritional information sourced from recognised food composition databases and nutritional research. The figures represent standard preparations for each food item. Actual calorie content can vary based on factors like specific variety, freshness, cooking method, and portion size. We always recommend using our data as a general guide whilst consulting with nutrition professionals for personalised advice.
Macro nutrients are the three main nutrient categories your body requires: protein, carbohydrates, and fat. Each provides different benefits. Protein supports muscle maintenance and repair; carbohydrates provide energy; and fat supports hormone function and nutrient absorption. Our database shows the breakdown of these macros for each food, helping you create balanced meals that support your health goals.
Weight management generally involves understanding your daily calorie needs and making food choices that align with those needs. Our database helps by providing transparent information about what you're eating. Combined with portion awareness and attention to macro nutrient balance, this information supports informed decision-making. We recommend consulting our nutrition guide and speaking with healthcare professionals for personalised guidance.
Cooking can change the water content and nutrient density of foods. Some foods lose moisture when cooked, becoming more calorie-dense per gram. Others may gain absorption of cooking oils or lose certain nutrients. Our database includes separate entries for common preparations to help you track accurately based on how you typically prepare your meals.
Fibre is a type of carbohydrate that your body processes differently than other carbs. In our database, we typically show total carbohydrates and separate out fibre content when available. This distinction is important because fibre provides bulk without being fully digestible, affecting how your body processes the food. Understanding this distinction helps with better dietary planning.
We regularly add new foods and update existing entries as new nutritional research becomes available. Our editorial team continuously works to expand coverage of emerging foods and ensure accuracy. You can check back regularly for new additions, and our latest articles section highlights recently added items to the database.
