Recipe Nutrition Calculator for Food Businesses

Search USDA FoodData Central from inside the recipe and add each ingredient with its amount. KitchenSync adds up the nutrients across the ingredients, divides by the weight the recipe makes, and reports the result for the serving size you set. Change an amount or swap an ingredient and the numbers recalculate. Food that loses water as it cooks gets more concentrated, so set the cooked yield, which is explained on the recipe costing page.

Every recipe has a macro chart. Calories per serving sit in the middle, and the ring splits into protein, fat and carbohydrate, with fiber marked inside the carbohydrate share. Beside it are the grams of each. Each ingredient in the recipe has its own chart too, so you can see which ones are high in fat or carbohydrate before you change the formula. The same chart appears on every ingredient in your ingredients list.

The calculation covers the vitamins and minerals the Nutrition Facts panel requires: vitamin D, calcium, iron and potassium, each as an amount and a % Daily Value. Fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrate, fiber and added sugars get a % Daily Value as well. Added sugars have their own line, and a noncaloric sweetener such as erythritol can be shown on its own line instead of counting as added sugars.
