Nutrition Tracking: Monitor intake for up to 110 nutrients—65 nutrients have default targets set automatically based on your profile, and 45 additional nutrients support custom targets. All nutrition data in recipe ingredients are fully traceable back to from USDA FoodData Central.

Personalization: Nutrient targets are calculated using evidence-based formulas from nutrition authorities (NASEM, EFSA, NHMRC, NNR). Targets adjust based on your age, sex, weight, height, activity level, and pregnancy/breastfeeding status.

Customization: Adjust any nutrient target using absolute amounts, percentages of energy, or scaling by body weight. Adjust nutrient weights to emphasize or de-emphasize specific nutrients in search rankings (0 = off, 1 = default, higher/lower for emphasis).
