What it does
MyFoodData provides food logging, recipe nutrition calculations and food comparisons across web, Android and iOS. Its official feature description includes free barcode scanning, detailed nutrients and recipe entry, with Premium additions for further input and sharing tools.
The comparison and recipe-calculation tools are useful when the task is understanding ingredients rather than merely adding another diary entry. A larger web screen can be used for recipe or meal planning, followed by phone logging later.
The site uses food-data badges to identify entries with more complete information. Read the selected entry and amount before using the comparison, since the tool organizes the values you choose. Premium is described for additions such as photo or voice input and family-profile features. Those are separate needs from ordinary food lookup and comparison.
