USDA FoodData Central, FNDDS 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024. Each value equals the recipe’s reported nutrient amount per 100 g multiplied by its USDA named portion weight ÷ 100. Calories round to a whole number; macros below 10 g show one decimal and larger amounts round to whole grams. The opening range uses the lowest and highest displayed calories in this table.
