NourmioNourmio calculator
Recipe nutrition calculator
Estimate calories and total sugar from ingredient amounts and values per 100 g. Add finished weight or equal servings for portion estimates.
Use values for the food you used
Match the label or food record to your ingredient, including its raw or cooked state. Use the weight of the edible part. The calculator does not look up food names or fill missing nutrition values.
The fields use values per 100 g. A US Nutrition Facts label usually gives nutrients for its stated serving. To convert a label value, divide it by the serving’s gram weight and multiply by 100. For a hypothetical 40 g label serving, 120 kcal becomes 300 kcal per 100 g, and 2 g total sugar becomes 5 g per 100 g.
Enter total sugar. Added sugar is already included in that number. The total and added sugar guide explains the two label lines.
Keep grams and milliliters separate
Selecting ml changes the unit of the amount you entered. It does not convert that number. Enter a density in grams per ml to calculate the ingredient’s mass. The tool does not assume that every liquid weighs the same as water.
The nutrition fields still use values per 100 g. If your source gives a value per 100 ml, divide it by the density to get the value per 100 g. For example, a hypothetical liquid with 6 g sugar per 100 ml and a density of 1.2 g/ml has 5 g sugar per 100 g.
Weigh the finished food separately. Its weight is not automatically set to the starting ingredient weights. Leave it blank when you do not know it. You can still get the batch total and, with a number of equal servings, a per-serving estimate.
Check the example
These are made-up ingredient values for arithmetic practice. They are not food records or measurements.
| Ingredient | Amount | Calories per 100 g | Total sugar per 100 g |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 100 g | 200 kcal | 4 g |
| B | 50 g | 300 kcal | 10 g |
The batch contains 100 × 200 ÷ 100 + 50 × 300 ÷ 100 = 350 kcal. Total sugar is 100 × 4 ÷ 100 + 50 × 10 ÷ 100 = 9 g. Two equal servings each contain 175 kcal and 4.5 g total sugar.
The example sets the finished weight to 125 g. That is a chosen input, not a measured cooking yield. Divide each batch total by 125 and multiply by 100 to get 280 kcal and 7.2 g total sugar per 100 g. A 25 g portion is one fifth of the batch: 70 kcal and 1.8 g total sugar.
Know when a result is incomplete
A blank value means unknown. If one used ingredient has no sugar value, the complete sugar total stays unavailable even when all calories are known. Enter zero only when your source supports zero for that food and basis. A row with amount zero contributes nothing.
The tool rounds displayed results to at most two decimal places. It keeps the unrounded values for calculations. A positive result smaller than 0.01 is shown as less than 0.01.
Account for what cooking changes
The estimate assumes the entered nutrients remain in the finished dish. It does not calculate what leaves in discarded fat, liquid or solids. Changing the finished weight alone cannot correct nutrient losses. If you cannot account for what was discarded, treat the result as uncertain. A weighed portion also assumes a reasonably even mixture.
The homemade-meals guide explains ingredient matches and portions in more detail. This calculator estimates a recipe. It does not set a daily calorie target or automatically send the result to Nourmio.
