Meal Builder
Add foods with quantities in grams. Totals update live, in your browser.
| Food | Grams | Calories | Protein | Carbs | Fat |

How it works
Each food's per-100 g values are scaled by the grams you enter (value × grams ÷ 100), then added together. The macro split converts protein and carbs at 4 kcal per gram and fat at 9 kcal per gram, then shows each share of the total macro calories.
Worked example
A plate of Chicken Breast 150 g + Brown Rice 195 g + Broccoli 156 g gives: calories 248 + 218 + 53 = 519 kcal; protein 46.5 + 5.1 + 4.4 = 56.0 g; carbs 0 + 46.8 + 10.3 = 57.1 g; fat 5.4 + 1.8 + 0.6 = 7.8 g. Check the arithmetic: chicken breast 165 × 1.5 = 247.5, rounded to 248 kcal; brown rice 112 × 1.95 = 218.4, rounded to 218 kcal; broccoli 34 × 1.56 = 53.04, rounded to 53 kcal.
Frequently asked questions
Do I enter cooked or raw weight?
Use the weight that matches the database entry — most entries here are as served or cooked, as labelled on the food page.
Why are totals rounded?
Calories are rounded to whole kcal; macros to one decimal place. Small rounding differences are normal.
Is my meal saved anywhere?
No — everything stays in your browser and disappears when you leave the page.
Can I add the same food twice?
Yes — add it again with a different quantity and both rows count toward the total.
