Food & nutrition

Read your nutrition details

What the numbers—and the gaps—mean.

Start with the basics

Your diary summarizes food energy and available protein, carbohydrate, and fat values. Whole-number displays simplify reading; underlying portion calculations may use more precision.

Explore the detail

Some food records include fiber, sugar, saturated fat, sodium, minerals, and vitamins. Available information depends on the source record.

A dash is not a zero

An unknown nutrient value is not counted as a confirmed zero. Partial totals show coverage so you can distinguish a complete total from one based on only some foods.

Treat values as information

Catalog records and estimates are not lab measurements of your plate. Check the serving basis and product label when precision matters.
