Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template uses Lua:

This template employs intricate features of template syntax.

You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages.
You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either , the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here.

This is the {{infobox nutritional value}} template.

Basic usage

{{Infobox nutritional value
| name    = 
| kJ      = 
| carbs   = 
| fat     = 
| protein = 
| note    = 
}}

Parameters

Required fields: name, kJ, carbs, fat, protein. You must state the units of measurement that are being used, except for kJ, which is in kilojoules (1 Calorie = 1 kcal = 4.2 kJ). The units are usually expressed in grams (g), for example: |fat=3 g.
- Note: To specify energy in kcal rather than kJ, use kcal instead.
Optional fields: image, caption, serving_size, sugars, lactose, satfat, transfat, monofat, polyfat, omega3fat, omega6fat, fibre, starch, water, cholesterol, alcohol and caffeine. Again, you must state the units that are being used.
Contributor defined fields: Additional fields can be added using the opt1n and opt1v fields, where n is for name and v is for value. Up to four optional fields are supported, opt1n & opt1v up to opt4n & opt4v.

The following optional variables are converted into percentages of RDA (taken as averages for males and females aged 25–50 years from the USDA 2000 recommendation)

Minerals (in mg) - calcium_mg, copper_mg, iron_mg, phosphorus_mg, magnesium_mg, manganese_mg, selenium_ug, sodium_mg, potassium_mg, zinc_mg. Write the number without the unit.
Vitamins (in mg, μg, or international units) - vitA_ug, vitA_iu (in IU), vitA_asbeta_iu (in IU), betacarotene_ug (subcategory of vitamin A!), thiamin_mg (vit. B₁), riboflavin_mg (vit. B₂), niacin_mg (vit. B₃), pantothenic_mg (pantothenic acid), vitB6_mg, folate_ug, vitB12_ug, choline_mg, vitC_mg, vitD_ug, vitD_iu (in IU), vitE_mg, vitE_iu, vitK_ug. Write the number without the unit.

Other optional variables and flags

note - a convenient way to indicate serving sizes or edible parts, e.g., 1 banana is 100 to 150 g or other information.
source - sets the data source of the information used in the template.
- source_usda - a 1 in this field will automatically set the source as the USDA database.
noRDA - optional suppression of RDA message: noRDA=1
float - |float=left will cause the table to appear on the left side of the article, |float=center for centered, and |float=none to place it on the left, but without wrapping text around it. The default is |float=right.

Additional notes

According to SI rules, there should be a non-breaking space between the number and the unit: "14 g" (which displays as "14 g") and not "14g".
Don't specify numbers to too many decimal places.
Splitting up components that are present in trace amounts is not very meaningful (e.g. 1.5 g fats of which 0.5 g unsaturated).
Only vitamins and minerals for which this product is considered to be a good source should be included, in order to prevent clogging up the article with a huge table.

Nutritional values can be found in the USDA's FoodData Central (formerly National Nutrient Database). Note that fibres are counted as carbohydrates. Note also that the calculated energy value given in the USDA database sometimes includes 4 kcal per gram of fibre, which is not really correct, and it would be better for Wikipedia articles to exclude the fibre from the energy value. (The USDA documentation says, "For multi-ingredient processed foods, kilocalorie values (source codes 8 or 9; ...) generally reflect industry practices (as permitted by NLEA) of calculating kilocalories as 4, 4, or 9 kilocalories per gram of protein, carbohydrate, and fat, respectively, or as 4, 4, or 9 kilocalories per gram of protein, carbohydrate minus insoluble fiber, and fat. The latter method is often used for high-fiber foods.")

TemplateData for Infobox nutritional value

A template (that is US-centric) for recording the nutritional value of foods. SI units must be inserted manually with a {{nbsp}} between the unit and the value. (g = grams, μg = micrograms, IU = international units). Percentage daily value (%DV) are roughly. estimated using US recommendations for adults from the USDA.
