Nutrition Data Recipe Calculator
Update: The old website, caloriecount.about.com is being shut down and rolled into their new site, VeryWell.com, which introduced a new version of the same tool. I updated the post below with the new links and screenshots.
Some of the most common questions I get about my recipes are about calculating nutrition information. “How many calories does this soup have?” or, “how many grams of fat are in these cookies?”
Up until now, my answer has always been something like, “I dunno…” because this is a much more complicated question than it seems. While there are countless websites and mobile apps designed to help you calculate nutrition for different
My Food Data
, that’s not too helpful for entire recipes. Finding the grams of fat in one serving of my Sesame Rice Bowl, for example, is no trivial matter… First, you’d have to look up the fat in brown rice. And then sun-dried tomatoes. And then a few slices of cucumber. Each of these ingredients would then need to be written down, divided by weird fractions for each serving, and then added together. The end result (assuming the math was correct) would still be a rough estimate and you would have to start at the beginning for calories, carbs, sodium, and more until your calculator catches fire and you throw your hands up in frustration.
Thankfully, dear readers, there’s a better way. I was excited to recently discover a free recipe nutrition calculator that allows you to create a nutrition label for any recipe you find online, and I thought it could be useful to give you a quick overview of how it works. The tool is located at VeryWell.com and it’s incredibly simple to use: to make a complete nutrition label, all you have to do is paste a list of ingredients into a text box, click a button, and it’ll calculate out all the details in seconds – complete with a per-serving breakdown of calories. Here’s a quick tutorial of how this tool can be used…
Find the recipe in question, highlight the entire ingredient list, and right-click to copy everything. For this example, we’re using my recent Sunflower Pesto Tabbouleh. You can also do this with a printed recipe, just have your ingredient list handy by your computer.

Head over to https://www.verywell.com/recipe-nutrition-analyzer-4129594 and paste the list of ingredients right into the text box. Take a second to look everything over and ensure it’s just one ingredient per line. You can also adjust the number of servings to get a readout for each portion if you so desire.
Click “Analyze Recipe” and watch the magic happen. Behind the scenes, this tool is figuring out which ingredients you’re using and the quantities of each. It’s smart enough to interpret most wordings of certain foods, but it may need additional clarification on some ingredients. If that’s the case, those ingredients will be highlighted in yellow. For example, it didn’t understand “1 lemon (juice)” but by clicking the yellow area, I was able to clarify this as one whole lemon. It also needed clarification on the curly parsley. It’s also a good idea to look over each ingredient and ensure it didn’t do anything funny.
After fixing those errors, the page automatically updates with a complete breakdown of the calories in each ingredient (on a per serving basis), plus a nutrition label for the entire recipe (also per serving).
How To Calculate Your Own Nutrition Facts On A Recipe (and Why I Don't Provide These)
Amazing! If you aren’t already using this tool, it’s definitely something worth bookmarking for future use. Beyond just online recipes, it is also extremely useful for recipes in cookbooks or ones you create on the fly – simply type in everything you added to your meal and it’ll automagically create a label for you.
Finally, I can put an end to the, “how many calories are in this?” comments you have all been leaving on my recipes. 🙂

Our nutrition and calorie calculator gathers nutritional data from several different sources, including the USDA and original product labels, among others. Each ingredient is assigned a nutritional value based on the data collected from these sources. To calculate the nutritional information of a recipe, ingredient quantities are converted into grams and then multiplied by these predefined nutritional values (per 100 grams).
Nutrition Calculator: Computes Nutrition Value Of A Meal
By breaking down the ingredients of each recipe, we’re able to calculate key nutritional data for each ingredient, including calories, carbs, protein, fat, sodium, and sugar. Our nutrition calculator then aggregates that data to calculate an overall health score for each ingredient. The overall recipe health score is calculated by combining these individual ingredient scores and the nutrient data for the recipe. The higher the health score, the healthier the recipe.
Automatically calculates the nutritional value of a single serving based on the total listed servings of a recipe. If you want to adjust the size of a single serving, you will need to log in and change the total servings of a recipe.
Because our nutrition calculator calculates the health score of each ingredient, you can see how each of the ingredients in your recipe affect its overall health score. By reducing or omitting energy dense ingredients or using healthier substitutes (for instance, olive oil instead of butter or sour cream instead of mayonnaise), you can improve the overall nutritional value of your recipe.
