Recipe nutrition facts

Calories and macronutrients per serving at the bottom of recipes, calculated from an official nutrient database. How it works, and its limits.

At the bottom of most recipes, Olivi shows nutrition facts per serving: calories, protein, carbohydrates (including fibre and sugars), fat, and sodium.

Where these numbers come from

They're calculated from an official nutrient database: a reference base of thousands of foods. For each ingredient, Olive finds the matching food in that database, then the values are calculated from the quantities and the number of servings. The numbers are never made up: they always come from this reference base.

It's calculated automatically

Nutrition appears on its own on catalogue recipes and on the ones you create, generate, or import. Adjust the number of servings: the per-serving values stay consistent.

These are estimates

Warning
These values are for information only and don't replace medical, nutritional, or dietary advice. They vary by brand, serving, and preparation, and the match between an ingredient and the database can include inaccuracies. For an allergy, intolerance, or medical condition (diabetes, high blood pressure, a prescribed diet, and so on), rely on product labels and consult a qualified health professional. When the estimate isn't reliable enough, no value is shown: that's on purpose, to avoid misleading you.
