How We Calculate Recipe Nutrition Facts

Empowering Your Diet for Every Recipe

At Nellie's, we believe that knowing exactly what’s in the food that fuels your day is empowering, whether that means choosing free range eggs or just becoming educated about the wide range of nutrients that each food group has to offer. Everyone has unique and personal dietary needs and preferences, and we're proud to provide a plethora of recipes that include gluten-free, paleo, low-sugar, and more diet-friendly options.

Whether you’re looking for a new dish to tuck into school lunches, pulling together simple meals to nourish your family, or planning ahead for busy weeks, chances are we have a recipe that fits your routine and your table.

Why we provide nutritional information for our recipes

For all of our recipes, nutritional information is provided as a courtesy to our wonderful consumers. Though nutritional information is not required for recipes in the same way that it is for a packaged product (like our eggs), we know firsthand how useful it can be to have on hand for parents, athletes, people with health-related considerations, and other folks from all walks of life. We are not professional nutritionists, so please continue to discuss and make all dietary decisions with your primary care physician.

How we calculate nutritional information for our recipes

We calculate nutritional information using online software that generates data for each nutrient via Verified USDA Database Ingredient panels. We've chosen to use this software because of its link to scientifically derived nutritional information, which is also available to the public on the USDA Food Composition Databases. The statement you may have seen on our egg cartons and other packaged food products holds true for our recipes: Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet. Your daily values may be higher or lower depending on your specific needs.

Ingredient substitutions and omissions

Ingredient substitutions will change the nutritional information of any recipe––sometimes drastically. If you decide to make a substitution, we recommend consulting the USDA Food Composition Databases to view nutritional information for the ingredients you've chosen to use. Toppings, garnishes, or "as needed" ingredients are estimated with reasonable expected amount in mind. Any ingredients that are listed as optional are not included in the recipe's nutritional information.

Nellie's claims no responsibility or liability to any person or entity for damages or losses related to, whether directly or indirectly, the recipe nutritional information on this website.
