How we calculate calories and macros

A simple guide to understand where the nutrition estimates on the site come from, what they mean and what their limits are.

The calories and macros you see at Comidas Healthy are guiding estimates. They help compare options and understand recipe structure, not replace personal evaluation.

The goal is to give you a clearer frame for decisions, not a false feeling of absolute precision.

What can change the figures
