About Recipe Calorie Calculator
We built a free tool that helps people understand exactly what's in the food they cook — using the same nutrition data trusted by dietitians worldwide.
Why We Built This
Most people who cook at home have no easy way to know the actual nutritional content of what they're making. Restaurant meals come with nutrition labels. Packaged foods have them too. But the chicken stir-fry you made from scratch on a Tuesday night? You're on your own.
We built Recipe Calorie Calculator to fix that.
This is a free, no-login-required tool that calculates the calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, and fiber in any homemade recipe. You enter your ingredients and amounts — we do the math using verified nutrition data from the USDA FoodData Central database.
Our goal is simple: give home cooks the same nutritional clarity that packaged food buyers take for granted.
How It Works

We Match to USDA Data
Each ingredient is matched to the USDA FoodData Central database — the same source used by nutrition professionals and the FDA.
3
Get Your Nutrition Facts
Instantly see calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, and fiber — broken down per serving and for the full recipe.
Our Data Sources and Accuracy
We take data accuracy seriously. Here's exactly where our nutrition information comes from and what you should know about its reliability.

Primary Source
USDA FoodData Central (fdc.nal.usda.gov)
The official U.S. government nutrition database, maintained by the USDA Agricultural Research Service.

What We Calculate
Calories, protein, total carbohydrates, dietary fiber, total fat, saturated fat, and sodium — per serving and for the full recipe.
⚖️
How We Calculate
We calculate nutrition values proportionally based on the weight of each ingredient you enter. Serving size is determined by dividing the total recipe by your specified number of servings.
