Nutrition information

Magic Meal Kit shows calories, protein, carbs, and fat for each recipe: either pulled from the source when it's available, or estimated on demand from the ingredient list.

Auto-imported nutrition

When you import a recipe from a URL, nutrition is included automatically if the source page provides it. Most major recipe sites do. The values are stored per recipe and scale with the servings stepper.

Estimate on demand

Recipes without nutrition (manual entries, scanned photos, sources that don't publish it) show empty cards. To fill them in, open the recipe, tap the more menu (•••), and choose Estimate Nutrition. Magic Meal Kit matches each ingredient against the USDA FoodData Central database and computes calories, protein, carbs, and fat for the whole recipe.

If any ingredients can't be matched (uncommon brand-name items, unusual phrasings), you'll get a heads-up listing what was skipped. The estimate covers everything that was matched.

Per-serving values

All four nutrition values are shown per serving. Change the servings stepper and the displayed numbers stay per-serving. The stepper changes your shopping quantity, not the nutrition math.

Hide nutrition

If you'd rather not see nutrition cards anywhere in the app, open Profile → Preferences and turn off Show Nutrition Info. The underlying data stays in your library; flipping the toggle back on shows it again instantly.

Accuracy notes

• USDA estimates are a starting point, not a clinical figure. Variation in brands, cuts, and preparation will shift the numbers.
• Source-provided nutrition reflects whatever the original site published; Magic Meal Kit doesn't recompute it.
