Five collections, five different data contracts
Generic foods, drinks, packaged products, restaurant items, and custom plates stay separate so one kind of record never impersonates another.

Nutrition explained
The three macros, made intuitive
Every calorie comes from protein, carbs, or fat. CaloriePlate turns those numbers into a plate you can read at a glance.
Protein
4 kcal / gBuilds and repairs muscle, keeps you full, and supports recovery. We show grams and its share of total calories.
Carbohydrates
4 kcal / gYour body's primary fuel. We separate total carbs and fiber so you can see the quality, not just the quantity.
Fat
9 kcal / gEssential for hormones and absorbing vitamins. The most energy-dense macro, visualized clearly on every plate.
Methodology
Numbers you can actually trust
We're precise where the science is precise, and transparent where estimates are needed.
Closed before it scales
Basic Foods contains 1,330 verified varieties across 1,225 foods. New records do not enter through fuzzy search demand alone.
Nutrients come from the source
Every calorie is exact and source-backed. Macro and micronutrient origins remain labeled as reported, calculated, assumed-zero, or estimated.
Portions never share guessed weights
Every default serving shows its gram weight. Named portions appear only when their weight is source-backed or part of the verified catalog standard.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Where does the nutrition data come from?
Basic Foods uses authoritative food-composition databases, government records, regulated labels, and documented literature. Beverages publish only source-reported values from a specific generic record or product label. Every page identifies the source used.
How accurate are the calorie counts?
Values are reference nutrition for a specific variety, cut, or preparation. CaloriePlate shows them per serving with the exact gram equivalent, while preserving the source-normalized data underneath.
Why do some foods ask me to choose a preparation?
Preparation can materially change nutrition. CaloriePlate asks whether your food is raw, cooked, drained, or otherwise prepared instead of silently making the wrong assumption.
How do portions work?
Foods and beverages open at one defensible serving and show its gram or milliliter basis. You can choose ¼, ½, 1, or 2 servings, or enter your own amount. Named portions appear only when their mapping is source-backed.
What does Make Your Own calculate?
It combines your selected ingredients and preparations by gram weight, then totals their nutrition per serving. Your plate is stored only in your browser.
