Trail nutrition package arithmetic calculator

Calculate scaled label totals for consumed quantities and supplied target minus label total, signed with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use scaled label totals for consumed quantities and supplied target minus label total, signed to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Examples

Try the starting example

Food labels: ID, grams consumed, reference grams, kcal, protein g, carbohydrate g, fat g, sodium mg per reference
Oats,100,50,200,6,30,5,10 Nuts,30,30,180,6,6,16,0
Supplied comparison targets: kcal, protein g, carbohydrate g, fat g, sodium mg
600,20,70,25,500
Scaled label totals for consumed quantities
Energy kcal: 580; Protein g: 18; Carbohydrate g: 66; Fat g: 26; Sodium mg: 20
Supplied target minus label total, signed
Energy kcal: 20; Protein g: 2; Carbohydrate g: 4; Fat g: -1; Sodium mg: 480
Metrics below supplied comparison target
Energy kcal, Protein g, Carbohydrate g, Sodium mg
Metrics above supplied comparison target
Fat g

Try another scenario

Food labels: ID, grams consumed, reference grams, kcal, protein g, carbohydrate g, fat g, sodium mg per reference
Oats,100,50,200,6,30,5,10 Nuts,60,30,180,6,6,16,0
Supplied comparison targets: kcal, protein g, carbohydrate g, fat g, sodium mg
600,20,70,25,500
Scaled label totals for consumed quantities
Energy kcal: 760; Protein g: 24; Carbohydrate g: 72; Fat g: 42; Sodium mg: 20
Supplied target minus label total, signed
Energy kcal: -160; Protein g: -4; Carbohydrate g: -2; Fat g: -17; Sodium mg: 480
Metrics below supplied comparison target
Sodium mg
Metrics above supplied comparison target
Energy kcal, Protein g, Carbohydrate g, Fat g
Calculation method

Calculation method

Scaled label totals for consumed quantities

For each food multiply each supplied label value by consumed grams/reference grams, then sum by metric.

Supplied target minus label total, signed

Target−scaled total; do not infer nutrient targets.

Metrics below supplied comparison target

List strictly positive target−total differences.

Metrics above supplied comparison target

List strictly negative target−total differences, without labeling any direction beneficial or harmful.

Symbols and units
a
Food labels: ID, grams consumed, reference grams, kcal, protein g, carbohydrate g, fat g, sodium mg per reference
b
Supplied comparison targets: kcal, protein g, carbohydrate g, fat g, sodium mg

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Label arithmetic with user-supplied comparison targets, not a dietary prescription, food-health rating or assessment of what a hiker needs. Energy follows the supplied kcal label rather than being recomputed from macronutrients.
