Food Comparison Calculator
Compare any two foods side by side on calories, protein, carbs, fat and more, shown per 100 grams for a fair comparison.
Higher value in each row is highlighted. Comparing per 100 g puts both foods on an equal footing regardless of serving size.
About the Food Comparison Calculator
This tool puts two foods next to each other so you can see exactly how they differ on calories, protein, carbs, fiber, sugar, fat, sodium and more. Both are shown per 100 grams, which is the fairest way to compare, since it removes the distortion of different serving sizes. The data comes from a large food database built on official USDA records plus packaged food data.
Side by side comparison is one of the fastest ways to make a better food choice. Questions like is brown rice really better than white, or which yogurt has more protein, become obvious the moment you see the numbers together rather than trying to hold them in your head.
How to use it
Search for your first food and select it, then do the same for the second. The comparison table appears automatically, with the higher value in each row highlighted so differences jump out. Try swapping one side to test alternatives, for example comparing several protein sources or two similar snacks.
Reading the comparison wisely
Higher is not always better, it depends on what you want. More protein and fiber are usually positives, while you might prefer the option with less added sugar or sodium. The calculator simply shows the facts clearly and leaves the judgement to you, which is exactly how good food decisions should work.
