Higher amounts

Dietary fiber

Dietary fiber is carbohydrate that is not fully digested in the small intestine. Feed Love shows which ingredients contribute it.

Useful context

Protein

Protein is made of amino acids and appears across animal and plant foods. Feed Love traces recipe protein back to ingredients.

Lower amounts

Sodium

Sodium can come from naturally occurring food sodium as well as salt and processed ingredients. Contribution views show what drives the total.

Higher amounts

Potassium

Potassium is a mineral found in many fruits, vegetables, legumes, dairy foods and other ingredients.

Higher amounts

Calcium occurs in dairy foods, fortified foods, some greens, tofu and other ingredients.

Higher amounts

Iron

Iron occurs in both animal and plant foods, with amounts varying by ingredient and preparation.

Higher amounts

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is naturally present in some foods and added to many fortified products. Coverage depends strongly on the matched database record.

Lower amounts

Saturated fat

Saturated fat is one component of total fat. Feed Love can show which ingredients contribute most to a recipe total.

Lower amounts

Added sugars

Added sugars are sugars added during processing or preparation. Not every USDA record reports this field, so Feed Love marks incomplete coverage.

Useful context

Total carbohydrate

Total carbohydrate includes starches, sugars and fiber components reported by the matched food record.

Useful context

Total fat

Total fat includes saturated and unsaturated fats. Ingredient contribution views show which foods drive the recipe total.

Useful context
