Revise: Carrying Out Nutritional AnalysisNutritional analysis calculates how much energy and which nutrients a food, recipe, meal or diet provides. It turns a list of ingredients into information that can guide planning: you can assess a portion, compare alternative recipes and check the contribution of meals to a whole day’s intake.
Show the calculation for the quantity actually used: a value per 100 g is not automatically the value for one portion.
Compare recipes on the same basis: per 100 g or per equal-sized portion. Keep energy and nutrient units consistent.
