How to Use the Nutritional Info Calculator

Whether you are bodybuilding, losing weight, or managing a medical condition like diabetes, precision in your diet is key. This calculator allows you to convert "per 100g" label information into the exact nutritional value of the portion you are actually eating.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Identify the Label: Look at the back of your food packaging for the "Nutrition Facts" per 100g.
  2. Enter Reference Values: Type in the calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fats listed for that 100g serving.
  3. Weigh Your Serving: Use a digital kitchen scale to weigh the amount of food you intend to eat (in grams).
  4. Calculate: Our tool will apply the math to give you the exact macros for your specific serving size.

Example Calculation: Raw Almonds

Imagine you are snacking on almonds. The package says per 100g there are 579 calories, 21g of protein, 22g of carbs, and 50g of fats. However, you only eat a small handful weighing 28 grams.

  • Serving Weight: 28g
  • Calories: (28 / 100) * 579 = 162.1 kcal
  • Protein: (28 / 100) * 21 = 5.88g
  • Carbs: (28 / 100) * 22 = 6.16g
  • Fats: (28 / 100) * 50 = 14.00g

Why Track Macros?

Macronutrients (Protein, Carbs, and Fats) make up the total caloric content of your food. Protein is essential for muscle repair, carbohydrates provide energy for high-intensity activities, and fats are crucial for hormonal health and vitamin absorption. Tracking these numbers ensures you aren't just hitting your calorie goals, but hitting them with the right balance of nutrients.
