π¨ 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?
π₯ 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.
π Hereβs 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 Excelβs built-in Food data type.
Now, with a few clicks, I can: β
Search any ingredient (yes, even baking soda or beer)
β
Instantly pull nutritional data from the web
β
Multiply by portion size
β
Automatically calculate totals per meal and day
β
Track my progress toward daily & weekly goals
π§ͺ Bonus feature? A Check Recipe tool! Type in ingredients, enter amounts, and instantly get the full nutritional breakdown of the whole dish.
π Oh, and thereβs a dashboard too β with pivot tables, slicers, and charts showing daily and weekly intake at a glance.
If you’re trying to: β Eat better
β Track your meals
β Learn Excel in the process
Then this tool might just change how you approach your health.
