Calculators
How much food to buy.
Total amount by people and meals, using official reference portion weights. You can change the grams.
Questions
Where do the portion weights come from?
From the SENC portion table (2004), published by the Spanish Ministry of Health. They are raw, net weights: what goes into the pot, without peel or bones.
Does it include what I throw away when cleaning?
No. The weights are net. For foods you clean yourself, such as fish with bones, buy a little more or work out the trim loss with the recipe cost calculator.
Can I change the grams per serving?
Yes. The calculator suggests the middle of the reference range and you can type your own amount.
