What is the Food Converter?

The Food Converter converts raw food weight to cooked weight and automatically calculates nutrition values (calories, macros). Perfect for bodybuilders, fitness athletes, meal-prep enthusiasts, and anyone tracking their nutrition precisely.

How does the conversion work?

Foods change their weight during cooking through water loss or absorption:

  • Meat loses water → becomes lighter (factor <1.0). Example: 200g raw chicken → 130g cooked
  • Grains absorbs water → becomes heavier (factor >1.0). Example: 100g raw rice → 250g cooked

Common Tracking Mistakes

Wrong: Multiply cooked weight with raw nutrition values

Correct: Always start from raw weight – calories stay the same!
