Recipe Nutrition

Every recipe has a Nutrition view that turns your ingredients' nutrition data into an FDA-style Nutrition Facts label—per serving, ready to download or print. It also shows exactly which ingredients are contributing, and which ones still need data.

Caution

Disclaimer: Nutritional information provided by PrepStation is estimated based on ingredient data and should be used for general guidance only. For accurate nutritional labeling, menu claims, or dietary advice, consult with a registered dietitian or nutritionist. Actual nutritional values may vary based on preparation methods, ingredient sourcing, and portion sizes.


Nutrition Overview

What it is: A per-serving nutrition label calculated from each ingredient's nutrition data and the quantity used in the recipe.

Why you'd use it:

  • Print nutrition labels for packaged or grab-and-go items
  • Answer customer questions about calories and macros
  • Spot which ingredients are missing nutrition data

How it fits together:

Ingredient nutrition data (USDA link or vendor label)
        ↓  × quantity in the recipe
Recipe totals
        ↓  ÷ Servings
Nutrition Facts label (per serving)

Key terminology:

  • Coverage - How much of the recipe has nutrition data. The badge reads Complete (90% or more), Partial (50% or more), or Limited
  • Override - A value you type in to replace the calculated one on this recipe's label
