🔢Per-serving nutrition
Calories and macros that add up from real foods, per serving, meal and day.
Nutrition is never guessed from an ingredient's name. Each ingredient you want counted is linked to a real food, and every figure is computed from that link.
- 01
Link to a food
You link an ingredient to an entry in a nutrition database (sourced from the USDA catalogue) that stores facts per 100 g and a set of known portions. An ingredient with no link simply isn't counted.
- 02
Convert the quantity to grams
Because the facts are per 100 g, Millo first turns your quantity into grams, trying the most exact route first and only falling back when it has to (see below).
- 03
Scale, sum, divide
The per-100 g facts are scaled to the resolved grams, every ingredient is summed, and the total is divided by the number of servings. Change the servings and every number re-scales live.
- 04
Roll up to meals and days
Recipe totals add up into a meal, and meals into a day. If anything in the chain isn't linked or can't be converted, Millo tells you the total is incomplete and why, instead of showing a confident wrong number.
- 1An explicit portion you picked (“2 eggs”) → its gram weight.
- 2A weight or volume unit (g, kg, ml) → converted directly.
- 3A unit that matches one of the food's known portions (“1 cup”) → that portion's gram weight.
- ≈Anything else → a coarse grams-per-unit estimate, so you still get a directionally-correct figure.
Honest about estimates
When any step had to fall back to the coarse estimate, the whole total is flagged as an estimate rather than presented as exact. Numbers you can trust are marked as such; approximations say so.
Auto-match, in any language
Linking by hand is optional. Millo can match ingredients automatically and, because the catalogue is in English, it translates your names on device first (one batch translation for the whole list). It also remembers foods you've linked before, recalling a known name instantly next time.
