Foods to discover

What is a nutrition database for?

A nutrition database helps you find the composition of a reference food, usually for a given amount such as 100 g. For carbohydrates, the portion actually eaten remains essential: two plates of the same meal can contain different amounts.

Glu-Scan pages distinguish reference data, common portions and situations where a value may vary depending on the recipe, brand or preparation.

A database designed for real meals

Our goal is not only to display a number: each page should help explain what a portion represents and why an estimate may vary.

🍞

Carbs first

Information designed to quickly find carbohydrates for a food or portion.

⚖️

Useful portions

Pages compare values per 100 g with common serving sizes adapted to each food.

From data to meals

When the weight or recipe is unknown, Glu-Scan can help estimate nutrition from the meal.

Important: nutrition values may vary depending on the recipe, brand, ingredients, cooking method and portion. Glu-Scan provides nutrition information and estimates and does not replace medical or professional advice.

Frequently asked questions

Essential answers before using the nutrition database.

What can I search for in the Glu-Scan nutrition database?

The Glu-Scan nutrition database is designed to search foods and meals and progressively access pages showing carbohydrates, calories, protein, fat, portions and available sources.

Are nutrition values exact?

Nutrition values are reference data or estimates depending on the food and source. They may vary by recipe, brand, preparation and the portion actually consumed.

Why is portion size important for carbohydrates?

A value per 100 g does not necessarily correspond to the amount actually eaten. The total carbohydrates in a meal therefore depend on the portion.

Does Glu-Scan replace a healthcare professional?

No. The Glu-Scan nutrition database and app provide nutrition information and estimates. They do not replace medical or professional advice.
