USDA FoodData Central

Know exactly what's in the food, without the guesswork.

You're planning meals, building a recipe, or just trying to eat a little better, and every label tells a different story. Tracking down real calorie counts, protein, sugar, and serving sizes turns a simple question into a rabbit hole. Most of what you find online is somebody's best guess.

Let your agent pull the real numbers for you, straight from the official U.S. government food records. Ask in plain words and it tells you what's actually in a food, compares options side by side, and adds up the nutrition for a whole recipe so you don't have to do the math.

You could ask it to:

• "How much protein is in a cup of cooked lentils?"
• "Compare the sugar in these three breakfast cereals."
• "Add up the calories for this recipe per serving."
