Nutrium has a wide number of food composition databases, check them here. But, if you are searching for a specific food product and can't find it, you can always add it to your own database in a very simple way.

To add a new food you need to:

  • Access the section "Foods" on the left sidebar menu;

  • Click in the "+" sign or in "Create food";

  • Register the name of the new food and the nutritional information per 100 grams (make sure to also select a food group);

  • Click on "Common measures" to give your new food its usual portion, such as a tablespoon, glass, slice:

Once that food item is created it will be available in the section "Meal Plan" included in the database "My foods"
