Contador de calorias – calorie counter for Brazilian food: spoons, ladles and units become grams and kcal from the IBGE table

Count calories in your phone or computer browser: search the food, pick the household measure and the day adds up kcal, protein, carbs and fat — with the source of every number.

• Household measure → grams → kcal: 1,962 foods and preparations from Brazil's IBGE table (POF 2008-2009) with its household measures (ladle, skimmer, serving spoon, unit…) and each value's source on the line.
• One search box: foods you already used come first, then your saved meals and the whole table — no searching the same item one by one every day.
• Every meal shows kcal, protein, carbs and fat in its header; barcodes (Open Food Facts) and a typed nutrition label work too.
• Installs from the page and works offline; no account and no ads; the diary stays on your device.
• Pro, to keep calories in check month after month: past days open and editable, 'Repeat yesterday' and saved meals in one tap, targets with what is left today, week and month trend, and the monthly report for your dietitian (print/PDF) + CSV.

Example (made-up day): 2 serving spoons of rice = 2 × 45 g = 90 g → 90 × 135.62 ÷ 100 = 122.06 kcal from the IBGE table; with bread roll, coffee with milk, margarine, beans, chicken, lettuce and banana the example day adds up to 693.34 kcal. Guessing the portion costs you: in the same table a full deep plate of rice (200 g) is 271.24 kcal and half a shallow deep plate (50 g) is 67.81 kcal — 203.43 kcal apart on the rice alone.

Values per 100 g from Brazil's IBGE table (Household Budget Survey 2008-2009) with each food's original source (NDSR/Univ. of Minnesota, TACO/Unicamp and others); household measures are IBGE's weight estimates, not a weighing. Food names are in Portuguese, as published.
