Common questions

How does it calculate macros?

MacroScan reads the ingredient list on the recipe page and looks up each ingredient in the USDA FoodData Central database — the same database used by MyFitnessPal, Cronometer, and most major tracking apps. It converts quantities to grams, calculates macros from per-100g data, and sums everything per serving.

How accurate is it?

For common ingredients at standard quantities, typically within 5-10% of what you'd get entering the recipe manually. It won't be exact because home cooking varies (a "chicken breast" can range from 4-8oz), but it's accurate enough to know whether a recipe fits your goals before you invest time cooking it.

Why are my numbers different from the recipe site?

Recipe sites typically use rough estimates or manufacturer data. MacroScan uses USDA FoodData Central — the gold standard for nutrition science. Our numbers tend to be more consistent and verifiable, which is why they sometimes differ.

What sites does it work on?
