Food nutrition details

USE THE LIST YOUR WAY

Recommendations that explain themselves.

01

Hard exclusions stay hard

Eating-pattern pools establish eligible foods, then dietary compatibility, food groups, and specific exclusions remove options before ranking.

02

Preferences set the order

Convenience, relative budget, and cooking tolerance reorder appropriate foods. Nutrient totals do not determine recommendation order.

03

Key nutrients, kept concise

Key Micronutrients shows up to five of the strongest vitamin or mineral contributions meeting FitCalc's threshold. It is not a complete label or a personalized requirement assessment.

TRANSPARENT BY DESIGN

Two layers, kept separate.

The recommendation layer starts with eating-pattern food pools, applies hard dietary and food exclusions, then ranks eligible foods by convenience, relative budget, and cooking tolerance. Multi-category foods retain one identity, and category rules show all eligible Protein, Carbs, Fats, and Convenient foods while Fruit and Vegetables show the top 10.

The nutrient layer maps each food to a curated USDA FoodData Central record on a per-100-g basis without influencing rank. Key Micronutrients ranks supported vitamins and minerals by unrounded standardized FDA %DV, includes only values at or above 10%, shows up to five, and does not promote sodium or non-micronutrients. Missing values remain unavailable rather than being treated as zero.

Representative profiles are labeled for variable packaged foods, whose brands, ingredients, preparation, and labels can differ. Standardized %DV is not a personalized requirement, and budget labels remain relative rather than live prices.
