Nutrition & Calories

The Nutrition & Calories API gives the calories and nutrition facts per 100 g of about 7,800 foods: energy (kcal and kJ), protein, fat (saturated, trans, omega-3 and cholesterol), carbohydrate, sugars, fibre, sodium and salt, 9 minerals and 13 vitamins. Vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, dairy, meat, fish, baked goods and drinks are included.

Search by Turkish or English name (Turkish letters optional) and by category; the everyday raw food comes first. Each food's household portions come with their weight in grams (1 medium tomato = 123 g).

The calorie calculator totals the calories and nutrients of a meal or recipe from food names or ids and grams, for example tomato:150, feta:50, olive oil:10. Built for diet, fitness, recipe, grocery and health apps.
