Elie's Nutrition Calculator is a web app made specifically for this wiki, to help compare different ideas about food.
Version 0.9 - current version
Tracks calories, protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals.
- Does not track carbs or fats,
- because for most people, the exact proportion of carbs & fats does not matter as long as other targets are met.
- Exception: people with diabetes.
- Also, every diet still needs at least a small amount of fat, [QUANTIFICATION needed]
- for essential fatty acids, and
- for being able to absorb fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K).
- because for most people, the exact proportion of carbs & fats does not matter as long as other targets are met.
Data source: USDA Standard Reference (SR Legacy)
Future versions
Will add more nutrients to track:
- Essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6)
- Essential amino acids (important for protein completeness)
- Caffeine (not technically a nutrient, but worth tracking)
- Carbs and fats (should fit somewhere off to the side)
Will add portion size options beyond just grams.
Will make the URLs shorter - for easier sharing, and so more foods can fit in the app.
