Step 1: To begin, click the Nutrition tab on the right side of the recipe page.
Step 2: Add Serving Size
Be sure you are in edit mode to connect ingredients to the USDA nutrition database. Then, enter in the serving size for your recipe.
Add Nutritional Data
Next, click the pencil icon next to any ingredient that has "Add Nutritional Data" next to it.
This opens up the Nutrition modal. In the search bar, enter in the ingredient name, and choose from a list of common ingredients, or from a list of branded ingredients.
Then, scroll down and select "Update Nutrition."
Once an ingredient is linked to nutrition information from the USDA database, it will remain linked in every recipe in which it's used.
If you cannot find a suitable item to link your ingredient to, you can submit a Custom Nutrition Information Request by clicking the the link highlighted below and filling out the form:
Our team will create a custom nutritional profile based on the values you provide for the ingredient within two business days.
Please note: All ingredient calorie counts are automatically rounded according to FDA labeling guidelines.
Meez System Ingredients and Allergens
Every meez system ingredient contains allergen information. This means that using a meez system ingredient like Parmegiano Reggiano will automatically attach "Milk" as an allergen to your recipe.
When you create your own ingredient, you can manually select which allergens apply to that ingredient.
USDA Ingredient vs Display Name
You may want to change how an ingredient is displayed on your nutrition label. To do that, simply type in the preferred ingredient name in the field under "Display Name for Nutrition Label."
Labels
Once your ingredients are connected to the USDA database, and your serving size is entered, a nutrition label will appear at the bottom of the Nutrition tab.
