Frequently asked questions
How big is the portion in this calculator?
The default is one glass (400 g), using the measure for this particular Fineli entry. Half means half of that amount. Choose the closest size to your portion; a visual estimate is not a weighed measurement.
How are calories and nutrients calculated?
The calculator multiplies the item or portion count by the source portion weight and the nutrient value per 100 g, then divides by 100. Only displayed values are rounded. Missing nutrition values appear as a dash.
Does this match my exact food?
The size selector shows cup or glass volume. Calculations use this drink’s source weight rather than assuming all liquids weigh the same. Count milk, sugar and other additions separately unless included in the source entry.
