Food Guide questions

How do I read the values on a food page?

Every value is given per 100 g — the standard reference amount that lets you compare foods fairly — plus a typical portion, because nobody eats 100 g of everything. A food that looks modest per 100 g can still be a big portion in real life, and the other way round: the portion line keeps both views honest.

Where do the numbers come from?

Standard food-composition reference values for the raw or plainly cooked food, rounded to sensible precision. Exact values vary with variety, season, brand and cooking method, so treat the figures as a reliable guide for comparisons rather than laboratory readings of the item on your plate.

Which food has the most protein?

In this guide, Chicken Breast leads at 31 g of protein per 100 g. Protein density tells a different story — Prawns gives the most protein per 100 kcal. The full rankings live in NutriScope.

Can I compare two foods directly?

Yes — NutriScope, our food-comparison page, lets you duel any two foods in the guide portion against portion, browse six nutrient rankings and compare whole families side by side.
