Food nutrition lookup
Find calories, protein, carbs, fats and allergens for packaged foods
How to read packaged food labels with confidence
Smart choices start with clear numbers. Begin with calories per 100 grams or per serving, since this frames portion control. If you change the display mode, the page recalculates values so you can compare a snack bar with a cereal box on the same scale. Calories give a quick energy picture, but the macro split turns that picture into action. Protein supports recovery and satiety, carbs fuel activity, and fat carries flavor and fat soluble vitamins. A balanced snack often leans higher in protein with moderate carbs and fat.
Scan the ingredients line next. Short lists with simple items are easier to understand. Long lists are common in processed foods, so do not worry, just look for patterns like added sugar, refined oils, or salt heavy seasonings. If sugar appears among the first few ingredients, consider a smaller portion or pair with a protein source. Seasoned snacks can be fine in small amounts, but for daily use choose items with lower sodium per serving.
Use the badges for quick quality cues. NOVA hints at the level of processing, and Nutri Score blends key nutrients into a single letter. These are guides, not rules. A canned bean with a good protein to calorie ratio can still be a strong choice even if the score is average. Country and category help with context, since formulas vary by region. Always check allergens if you cook for family, and read that line twice when the kitchen is busy.
When time is tight, search by name, then tap a pill to jump across similar products. If you have the package in hand, use the barcode scanner to fetch the exact item. The live scanner supports common formats and selects a camera when available, which makes lookups quick at the store shelf. Share buttons help you send a snapshot to a friend or a coach for feedback, so you do not second guess a choice.
Finally, build small habits. Add one protein rich snack to your day, switch to a lower sugar cereal, or pick whole grain crackers over refined ones. Use the progress bars as a visual nudge. Over a week, those small swaps lower empty calories and raise nutrients that matter. Food is personal, and tools should feel friendly. This page aims to give you numbers with clarity, and design that is calm, so choices feel easy.
