How it works

Every food defaults to a realistic starting amount, 100g for most staples, a smaller amount for fats, since a little oil or butter goes a long way. Change the number to see the macros for that food update, and your meal's total updates right along with it.

Figures are the same USDA-based averages used across this site's staple foods and grocery list pages, so a food here will always match what you see there.
