How do we calculate nutritional values for each dish?
Our nutrition and Recommended Daily Amounts (RDA) calculator provides nutritional information and RDA’s for every recipe, including protein, fibre, calories, fat, sugars, vitamins and minerals. The detail below will help you understand how we try to ensure that we are giving the most reliable values for our recipes that we can.

We’ve built our own nutrition calculator
We built and curate our own food dataset and nutrition calculator within our service in order to improve the accuracy, reliability and transparency of the data that we use.

How does our nutrition calculator work?
It works by breaking down the amounts and nutrient values for each ingredient in a given recipe. It then calculates the total nutrient values – including calories, protein, fats, carbs, sugars, fibre, minerals and vitamins. RDA values have been averaged across ages (15 upwards) and genders to return a single RDA value, so the RDA values are guideline percentages only. Values shown are for RDA’s, so whilst one of our recipes is unlikely to return all of your RDA we suggest that your evening meal would only be contributing to the daily amount you should be aiming for.

Trusting our values
The nutrition and RDA data we use is taken from reputable sources, such as: If you spot any potential inaccuracies then your feedback is always welcome.
