Nutrition Data

So how many calories, and what sort of vitamins, are in a potato? How about a McDonald's Big Mac? Or your Starbucks venti latte? Or...? "Nutrition Data provides a complete nutrient analysis for any food or recipe, and helps you select foods that best match your dietary needs." Get estimates of glycemic loads, trans fats, and much more. What are you shoving into your mouth? ND will tell you, and even make suggestions on what might be better for you.
