What's included in this calculation?

The estimate covers every listed ingredient at its stated quantity — optional ingredients included, unless the cook's notes say otherwise — prepared as written and divided by the stated servings. All quantities are metric: weighed in grams or measured in ml, tsp and tbsp.

Recommended sides and optional pairings are not included. Where a combined figure appears, it is shown only inside a pairing card labelled “Estimated nutrition when paired with”.

Before publication, every recipe passes automated checks: macro arithmetic against stated calories, tag honesty, and a screen for medical-claim language.Read the editorial policy.
