can anyone direct me to a free online nutritional data base?
« on: November 04, 2006, 02:18:08 PM »
I'm trying to get my food plan together and I can't find a data base where I can plug in the amount and  type of food I eat and it tells me the calories/carbs/protein/fat. So far I looked at AST (sucked) and the government one (sucked also). BB.com has one but I can plug in my amounts.

You can get a food scale at the grocery store fairly cheap, which should also come with a book, listing typical foods, portions sizes, and the nutrient breakdown.

I have several from old muscle magazines, including one listing the protein contents of certain foods like eggs, beef, tuna, whole milk, yogurt, etc. and a more recent one from FLEX, "The 200 Top Bodybuilding Foods", a pullout chart currently posted on my fridge.

Have an electronic scale but it didn't come with a book, the books that I did come across had as you said "typical" portion sizes, since I'm trying to put on mass, my portions aren't "typical" but thanks anyway.
