How to calculate nutrition for a recipe

Choose each ingredient from the food list, enter its measured amount, and add it to your recipe. ForkMacros combines the reference nutrition values and divides the total by the number of servings.

For the most reliable estimate, weigh ingredients in grams. Cups and household servings only work when a specific weight is recorded for the selected food. Check whether an entry describes raw or cooked food before adding it.

Save up to 30 recipes locally in this browser, reload them later, or turn your current ingredients into a shopping checklist. Scale the checklist to your serving count, check items you already have, then copy or download the remaining list.

The result is an estimate, not a laboratory analysis. Brands, cooking losses, added oils, ingredient varieties, and how evenly you portion the recipe can change the final values.
