Food data sources

Nutrition values come from USDA FoodData Central (public domain) and the UK Composition of Foods Integrated Dataset (CoFID). Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

What the values are

• Estimates. Every figure in AW Fitness’s food list is per 100 g and describes a typical food, not the one on your plate. A recipe, a brand or a portion can differ; you can change the portion and the values before you log a meal.
• Some Indian dishes are computed. Where no published table has a dish, its values are calculated from a home-style recipe’s ingredients, using the ingredient values from the sources below. Real dishes vary from cook to cook.
• Foods you add yourself, and meals analysed from a photo, use your own figures or the analysis, not this list.
