Frequently asked questions

How big is the portion in this calculator?

The default is one portion (50 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 visible source name states whether the vegetable is raw or cooked. Cooking changes water content, while frying oil and sauces add energy. Count additions outside this entry separately.
