Where these numbers come from
Single foods such as eggs, milk and fruit use laboratory values from USDA FoodData Central. Indian dishes are calculated from a stated standard home recipe, ingredient by ingredient, and divided by the cooked weight, so you can see exactly what we assumed. Foods that USDA does not cover, such as makhana, use a cited study or label instead. Read the full methodology.
