Enter your calorie intake, protein, carbohydrates, and fats into the Canes Nutrition Calculator to determine your net nutrition score.

Nutrition Calculation Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the net nutrition score from your intake. 

Net Nutrition = (Protein * 4) + (Carbohydrates * 4) + (Fats * 9)

Variables:

  • Net Nutrition is the total nutritional value derived from your intake.
  • Protein, Carbohydrates, and Fats are the macronutrients measured in grams.

To calculate the net nutrition score, multiply the grams of protein by 4, the grams of carbohydrates by 4, and the grams of fats by 9, then sum the results.
