Comment Comment by hombre_fatal The problem with OpenFoodFacts is that it just has nutrition label info for packaged goods.So, very little nutrient info beyond calories and protein. No info about micronutrients. No info about minerals, vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids.It's useless for nutrition tracking since if you're eating packaged food, then you already have that information yourself.It doesn't answer basic questions like "I ate 100g of extra firm tofu, how did it move me towards my daily mineral/vitamin targets?" parent hombre_fatal 1 year ago
