Where the numbers come from
How the nutrition is worked out
Each ingredient is matched to an entry in the Bodywise Food Reference, which is built on McCance and Widdowson's Composition of Foods Integrated Dataset (CoFID). The page adds up the weights you see and divides by the number of servings, so what you read is the same maths the 7-day meal planner uses. No figure on these pages is typed in by hand.
Not sure how much protein you need in a day? The muscle gain protein calculator works it out from your bodyweight, and the macro plan turns it into daily targets.
