Nutrients
A reference for every tracked nutrient — what it is, how much, and how well labels capture it
FiberThe carbohydrate you don't digest — and the quality number most worth raising.SugarsTotal sugars count the fruit and the soda alike — context is what separates them.Added SugarThe sugar that arrived in the recipe rather than the food — the one worth capping.Saturated FatThe fat to keep an eye on — moderation, not elimination.Trans FatThe one nutrient where the right amount is genuinely zero-ish.Monounsaturated FatThe Mediterranean workhorse — where most of your fat budget wants to live.Polyunsaturated FatThe essential fats — including the omega-3s your body can't make and most diets run low on.Dietary CholesterolThe nutrient science softened on — what the number means today.Vitamin AVision, immunity, and skin — from liver and eggs, or built from the orange in your vegetables.Vitamin CThe antioxidant that builds your collagen and unlocks your iron.Vitamin DThe vitamin that's mostly sunlight — which is exactly why your food number runs low.SodiumEssential, over-consumed, and hiding in food you never salted.PotassiumSodium's counterweight — the mineral most diets genuinely lack.CalciumThe skeleton's mineral — banked in youth, defended for the rest of your life.IronThe oxygen carrier — and the world's most common nutrient deficiency.MagnesiumThree hundred enzymes' favorite mineral — quietly missing from refined diets and from food labels alike.PhosphorusBone's other mineral and the P in ATP — the nutrient shortage forgot.ZincImmunity, healing, and recovery — with a plant-based asterisk worth knowing.
