Food Search
You can search our growing database of thousands of food items using this page.
Simply click on the food name to view the nutritional data and other information
about that food. Or, click on the + sign to add this food to your food chest.
This is a repository of your commonly used, favorite, or personally created food
items stored conviniently in one place.
If a food item you are looking for is not found, you can easily create your own
customized food item and store it for future reference. It can then be used
in your recipes or to create calorie counters or food diaries.
Nutrient Search
This page allows you to pick any nutrient and find foods either rich or poor in that nutritient. You can also
create foods and enter nutrient information which will then be used to calculate nutritional data for that food. When
you create recipes, nutritional and calorie information will be automatically calculated based on ingredients used.
In addition, percent daily values are calculated and presented in the nutrition facts page for those
nutrtients that have established daily reference values (DRVs) based on a 2000 Calorie diet, unless otherwise indicated.
This will help you and other consumers plan for a healthier and more balanced diet.
Recipes
Medsort Nutrition allows you to create your own recipes, add individual ingredients from our comprehensive
database or your own customized food items. You will have the option to keep your recipe private or allow the
public to view this recipe. If you decide to make your recipe public, you will be the only person with the
ability to edit and update this recipe. The public may only view the recipe information or its nutritional value. You
can make any of your recipes private anytime you choose.
Once a recipe is created, detailed nutritional data about that recipe, including calories per serving, fat, protein
and carbohydrate content, as well as Percent Daily Values of various nutritents will be automatically calculated and presented
by clicking on the recipe name under the recipe detail page.
