Abstract
Techniques are provided for calculating nutrient content information. A server that hosts a fitness management application receives text information that describes food recipe information. The server parses the text information to identify relevant food information. The relevant food information includes a first text portion that corresponds to food ingredient information and a second text portion that corresponds to food quantity information. The server matches the food ingredient information to the first text portion with a known food ingredient in a database of food ingredient information. The server converts the food quantity information in the second text portion to a known food quantity type. The server calculates nutrient content information of the food ingredient information using nutritional information of the known food ingredient and the known food quantity type.
