DRI Calculator & Nutrition Lookup
Two separate sidebar tools for nutrition analysis.
DRI Calculator
Inputs: date of birth, gender, weight, height, and activity level (Active is the default; Sedentary, Lightly active, and Very active are the others). All are required before calculation.
Output:
- Calorie Estimation (Harris-Benedict): BMR (kcal/day at rest) and TDEE (kcal/day total), with a "See Formula Details" button. Note in the tool: Harris-Benedict is most accurate for ages 13+; use the DRI values for younger children.
- Nutrient targets from the USDA Dietary Reference Intakes (NASEM, 2023), adjustable per nutrient.
Use it for building custom targets, education, or validating a plan against published recommendations.
Nutrition Lookup
Search foods and infant formulas: results combine verified ingredients, infant formulas, and the USDA food database.
- Pick a Portion Size (100g base or listed portions) with a quantity multiplier
- Nutrition Facts panel plus a separate Vitamins block
- Formulas get a "Formula" badge with base calories
