🥗 Recipe Nutritional Calculator – Google Sheets Template

Build better meals with data!
Track, calculate, and analyze the full nutritional breakdown of your recipes—including sub-recipes—with this powerful, fully automated Google Sheets calculator.

🔍 What Is It?

The Recipe Nutritional Calculator lets you:

• Create custom recipes with detailed nutritional values.
• Automatically convert units (grams, teaspoons, cups, etc.).
• Link sub-recipes together (e.g., use your pizza dough inside a margarita pizza).
• Calculate per-serving nutritional content with one click.

Whether you’re meal prepping, managing a food blog, or creating dishes for your fitness goals, this sheet makes it easy to stay informed.

✅ Key Features

💡 Smart Ingredient Database
Enter your ingredients once with their nutritional values (calories, protein, carbs, fat). The calculator does the rest—matching units and scaling quantities automatically.

🔄 Unit Conversion Engine
Need to convert from tablespoons to grams? Liters to milliliters? Our built-in unit of measure sheet handles both solid and liquid conversions, with full support for unique units like “each” (e.g., eggs, cans).

📦 Sub-Recipe Builder
Reuse existing recipes inside new ones. For example, add your pizza dough to a new pizza recipe—without re-entering any data.

📋 One-Click Recipe Save
Using Google Apps Script, you can easily save a new recipe and its full nutritional profile to your database—ready to reuse in future meals.

🔎 Validation + Clean Drop-downs
Use drop-down menus for ingredients and units to avoid errors. Everything is preconfigured so you can focus on building recipes, not formatting spreadsheets.

🧪 How It Works

1. Fill your ingredient database
   Add your ingredients, unit of measure, and nutrition info per quantity.

2. Build a recipe
   Use the recipe sheet to list ingredients, units, and quantities. Add serving size—and the calculator does the math.

3. Fix mismatched units
   If there’s a mismatch, like trying to convert “each” to “gram,” the sheet will let you know with helpful warnings.

4. Save and re-use recipes
   Once a recipe is ready, click a checkbox to run the built-in script and save it to your database.

5. Use sub-recipes like ingredients
   Saved recipes can be pulled in and calculated like any other ingredient, helping you create complex meals with ease.
