How to Add Nutrition Facts to Recipes

The Nutrition Facts feature is a Recipe Card Blocks feature that allows you to display nutritional information for your recipes, such as calories, macros, and nutrient values.

Nutrition data can be added directly inside the Recipe Card or displayed separately using the Nutrition Facts block, depending on your layout and content needs.


Adding nutrition facts inside the Recipe Card (recommended)

The primary way to add nutrition information is directly within the Recipe Card itself.

1. Open a post containing a Recipe Card (Schema.org) block (free version), or a Recipe Card (PRO) block (premium version).

2. Select the Recipe Card to open the block options sidebar.

3. Locate the Recipe Card Settings โ†’ Nutrition Facts section.

4. Enable the Display Nutrition Facts toggle.

5. Click on the Calculate Nutrition button and the nutrition info will be automatically calculated.

Once enabled, the nutrition facts will appear as part of the recipe card layout and will be included in the recipeโ€™s structured data.


Adding the Nutrition Facts block separately

In addition to the built-in nutrition section, you can also display nutrition information using a standalone block.

Use this block when you want to place nutrition information outside the main recipe card or when creating custom layouts or non-standard recipe pages.

1. Open your post or page in the editor.

2. Add the Nutrition Facts block.

3. Enter the nutrition values manually or let the plugin calculcate for you:

Note: The % Daily Value will be calculated and displayed automatically.

If you have an active Professional or Business license, the block will generate the nutrition values from ingredients automatically.


How to Generate Nutrition Data Automatically

To save time and ensure accuracy, we recommend using the Recipe Nutrition Analyzer.

With this tool, you can:

  • Analyze recipes based on ingredients
  • Automatically calculate calories, macros, and nutrients
  • Copy the generated nutrition values and paste them directly into Recipe Card Blocks

This workflow provides the best balance between accuracy and flexibility.
