Official source downloadHow portions are calculated
USDA reference values use 100 g of edible food. A 150 g portion uses each known nutrient × 1.5. Household measures use the gram weight supplied for that exact source profile. A cup of cooked rice and a cup of dry rice are separate portions.
Restaurant values use the named item, size and country. We preserve published kilojoules as well as calories when available. For documents that report salt, sodium in mg is calculated as salt in g × 1,000 ÷ 2.5 and marked as a conversion.
What is missing
Unknown values remain unknown. A recipe total is complete for a nutrient only if every ingredient has that nutrient. Diary summaries show the known subtotal and the number of incomplete entries. Missing vitamins or minerals cannot diagnose a deficiency.
What was checked
Imports check record identity, source columns, units, household conversions and missing values against the downloaded editions. GetMacros did not independently measure food chemistry or audit every restaurant’s current availability. USDA SR Legacy is the final 2018 historical edition; survey dishes reflect reference recipes from the 2021–2023 survey.

Your saved record is a snapshot
A diary entry keeps its source version, serving and calculated values. Updating a public menu cannot silently rewrite it. Personal recipes and notes stay private in this browser; they do not become verified public menu data.

USDA Branded Food Data uses manufacturer/provider label information. Records are imported, not independently verified by GetMacros or an endorsement from USDA. Match the market, barcode, flavour, serving and label date. Imported availability does not establish present warehouse inventory.

The Canadian Nutrient File reference partition uses Health Canada’s published 2026 release, with underlying nutrient and household-measure dates preserved. It is a reference dataset, not a catalogue of Canadian store-brand products.
