πŸ₯— Track Your Nutrition with Excel: Automated Food Tracker & Recipe Analyzer (No Manual Input Needed!)

🚨 Struggling to stay consistent with your nutrition? Want to see exactly how many calories, carbs, fats, and protein you’re consuming β€” without manually googling every ingredient?

πŸŽ₯ In my latest YouTube video on Excel Highway, I show you how I built a powerful Nutrition Tracker using Excel and Office 365. This tool pulls live data from the web and calculates your intake automatically β€” whether you’re tracking individual foods or full recipes.


πŸ“– Here’s how it started…

I wanted to take better control of what I eat β€” not just count calories, but understand what’s inside each meal, day by day. So I built a tracker in Excel.

It started simple: add food, add portions, and compare it to my daily targets. But then I realized I could take it to the next level using Excel’s built-in Food data type.

Now, with a few clicks, I can: βœ… Search any ingredient (yes, even baking soda or beer)
βœ… Instantly pull nutritional data from the web
βœ… Multiply by portion size
βœ… Automatically calculate totals per meal and day
βœ… Track my progress toward daily & weekly goals


πŸ§ͺ Bonus feature? A Check Recipe tool! Type in ingredients, enter amounts, and instantly get the full nutritional breakdown of the whole dish.

πŸ“Š Oh, and there’s a dashboard too β€” with pivot tables, slicers, and charts showing daily and weekly intake at a glance.


If you’re trying to: βœ” Eat better
βœ” Track your meals
βœ” Learn Excel in the process

Then this tool might just change how you approach your health.
