Understanding your results
How to read whole-recipe, per-serving, macro and micronutrient results without turning every number into a score.
Understand the numbers without needing a nutrition degree.
tracemeal's learning centre explains the data and calculations behind the analyser in plain English.
Australian NRVs
What RDI, AI, EAR, UL and other Australian and New Zealand reference values mean — and what they do not mean.
AFCD explained
How the Australian Food Composition Database supports tracemeal and why preparation, variety and missing values matter.
Serving sizes
Why a recipe total and a per-serving result answer different questions, and how changing servings affects the numbers.
Micronutrients
A practical way to think about vitamins and minerals alongside energy, protein, carbohydrate and fat.
How calculations work
How ingredient gram weights are scaled and summed so the nutrition maths stays deterministic and inspectable.
