Explore the Food Database

Find any food, anywhere

Whether you're eating at McDonald's, cooking Thai food at home, or grabbing a protein bar at the gym, our massive database has full nutritional information ready. With 4.5+ million foods and intelligent fuzzy search that understands typos and variations, you'll find what you need in seconds - not minutes of scrolling through irrelevant results.

Why This Database Works

4.5+ Million Foods

One of the largest food databases in the world. We include USDA Standard Reference foods, branded products from major manufacturers, restaurant chains, international cuisines, specialty diet foods, supplements, and user-contributed items verified for accuracy. If you can eat it, it's probably in our database.

Intelligent Fuzzy Search

Typo in your search? No problem. Our fuzzy search understands "chiken breast" means "chicken breast" and "brocoli" means "broccoli". It also understands variations like "grilled salmon" vs "salmon grilled" and finds both. Get accurate results even with imperfect queries.

Restaurant Database

Full menus from hundreds of restaurant chains including McDonald's, Subway, Chipotle, Olive Garden, Applebee's, Panera Bread, Starbucks, and more. See exact nutrition as reported by the restaurants themselves - no guessing required when dining out.

International Cuisines

From Italian pasta to Indian curry, Japanese sushi to Mexican tacos - the database includes authentic international foods with region-specific nutritional data. Traveling or cooking ethnic cuisine? It's all here.

Full Nutrition Data

Every food includes full nutritional information: calories, total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, potassium, total carbohydrates, dietary fiber, sugars, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Not just basic macros - all data for heart-health tracking.

Brand-Specific Products

Not just generic "yogurt" - find specific brands like "Chobani Greek Yogurt Strawberry 5.3oz" or "Fage Total 0% Plain Greek Yogurt". Brand-specific data ensures accuracy since formulations vary by manufacturer.

Pro tips for finding foods faster

Start Generic, Get Specific

Search broad terms first: "chicken" gives you dozens of options. Then refine: "chicken breast grilled" narrows to exactly what you need.

Include Cooking Method

Nutrition varies by preparation. Search "salmon baked" vs "salmon fried" to get accurate data for how you actually cooked it.

Use Brand Names

If you know the brand, include it: "fage yogurt" finds all Fage products specifically. More accurate than generic "greek yogurt".

Search Restaurant Name First

For restaurant food, start with the chain name: "panera" then see their full menu appear. Faster than searching dish names.

Add to Favorites

Log a food you eat often? Tap the star to favorite it. Next time, access it from favorites without searching.

Check Serving Sizes Carefully

Always verify serving size matches your portion. Database might show "100g" but you ate "6oz" - adjust accordingly.
