It’s probably happened to you, as well: I’m in a restaurant, and find
myself wishing I knew how many calories were in the food in front of me. I might
not know, but NutritionData.com does. This
website gives in-depth nutrition values on thousands of food items you find in grocery
stores and restaurants. From the ordinary to the unique, fast food burgers to braised
moose liver, it’s all listed here.
Nutrition Data’s goal is to show you how much fat is in your dinner. It’s
an excellent tool for those who want to lead a healthy lifestyle. Trying to lose
weight? On an anti-inflammation diet? Cutting out animal products? Nutrition Data
will sort through its library of foods and tell you what you should eat and what
to avoid. Its food descriptions include details such as an item’s glycemic
load, how full it will make you feel, and more.
Nutrition Data can also help calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI) and show you how
many calories, carbohydrates and vitamins you need. Similarly, you can tell the
site what you want to eat and it will suggest healthier alternatives. And the recipe
library has a variety of categories.
You may never need to know that braised moose liver has 331 percent of the amount
of B12 vitamins you need in a day. But if you ever do, you know where to go.
We’d love to hear from you.
