What it is
The Baked Goods Nutrition Calculator provides an authoritative, ingredient‑by‑ingredient breakdown of calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates, and sugars for any batch of bakery products. Users enter each component’s weight and its per‑100 gram macro profile—and optionally a waste or trimming percentage—to generate both whole‑batch totals and precise per‑serving values. This granularity is crucial for menu planners, dietitians, and health‑focused bakers who must satisfy nutritional labels, calorie limits, or dietary restriction requirements in a consistent and reproducible way.
How to use it
Begin with the number of servings your batch will provide. Enter the weight (in grams) for each ingredient up to three items; if an ingredient isn’t used, set its weight to 0. Provide the standard per‑100 gram values—calories, protein, fat, carbs, and sugars—for each ingredient from your supplier sheet or nutrition database. If you anticipate trimming, glaze waste or other losses, input that percentage as ``Waste %``; enter 10 for a 10 % loss. Hit “Calculate” to see the batch totals (kcal, g of protein, fat, carbs, sugars) and the corresponding per‑serving numbers rounded to three decimal places.
Worked example
Step 1: Calculate each ingredient’s macro contribution (weight × per‑100g / 100).---Ingredient 1 (Flour, 500 g):Calories = 364×5 = 1820 kcalProtein = 10×5 = 50 gFat = 0.5×5 = 2.5 gCarbs = 76×5 = 380 gSugars = 0.3×5 = 1.5 g---Ingredient 2 (Butter, 200 g):Calories = 717×2 = 1434 kcalProtein = 0.9×2 = 1.8 gFat = 81×2 = 162 gCarbs = 0.1×2 = 0.2 gSugars = 0 g---Ingredient 3 (Sugar, 150 g):Calories = 387×1.5 = 580.5 kcalProtein = 0 gFat = 0 gCarbs = 100×1.5 = 150 gSugars = 99.8×1.5 = 149.7 gStep 2: Sum the three ingredients to get batch totals (pre‑waste).Calories = 1820+1434+580.5 = 3834.5 kcalProtein = 50+1.8+0 = 51.8 gFat = 2.5+162+0 = 164.5 gCarbs = 380+0.2+150 = 530.2 gSugars = 1.5+0+149.7 = 151.2 gStep 3: No waste, so batch remains the same.Step 4: Divide each batch figure by 10 servings to get per‑serving values: Calories = 3834.5/10 = 383.45 kcalProtein = 51.8/10 = 5.18 gFat = 164.5/10 = 16.45 gCarbs = 530.2/10 = 53.02 gSugars = 151.2/10 = 15.12 gAll values are presented to three decimals in the tool.

Frequently asked questions
Can I add more than three ingredients?
This calculator supports up to three ingredient rows, which covers most small‑batch bakery recipes. For larger or more complex menus, you can duplicate the page and combine results manually or request a multi‑row version in the future.
How does waste percentage affect macro totals?
The waste % is applied as a multiplier (1 – waste%) to every batch macro value, reflecting trimming, crust loss or glaze wastage. A 20% waste reduces each total by 20%, making your per‑serving numbers stricter.
Will the tool handle gluten‑free or vegan ingredients?
Yes; you enter any ingredient’s nutrient data as usual—just supply the correct macro values, and the calculator will produce accurate totals regardless of dietary label.
