About the data
Every value comes from USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy). Numbers are for the food as described, for example “cooked” rice or “roasted” chicken. Cooking method matters: frying adds fat, and dry rice has about three times the calories of the same weight cooked.
% Daily Value (% DV) uses the same reference amounts as U.S. food labels, based on a 2,000-calorie diet. There is no daily value for total sugars, so none is shown.

Frequently asked questions
Are the calories for cooked or raw food?
Each food name says which one it is, such as “White rice, cooked” or “Egg, whole (raw)”. Pick the version that matches what you eat.
Why are brand-name foods not listed?
Recipes differ between brands, so we use USDA averages. For a packaged food, the Nutrition Facts label on the package is the most exact source.
How accurate is this food calorie calculator?
It is as accurate as the USDA averages it uses. Real foods vary a little by size, variety and how they are cooked, so treat results as close estimates.
