All information stored in my website's database is intended for sole user use. Aggregate data may be utilized for analytics to enhance and provide a more useful service. My site stores cookies on user machines. There are necessary cookies (these are required for the basic operation and functionality of the site, such as session management, language preferences, or security-related features) and optional (their primary purpose is to track user behavior for analytics and marketing purposes, such as Google Analytics).

I reserve the right to modify these Terms and Privacy Policy at any time. You are responsible for regularly reviewing these Terms, no less frequently than once every 14 days. Continued use of the site after 14 days of modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

EFFECTIVE JANUARY 2024

These Terms are in effect as of January 1, 2024. The Privacy Policy is an integral part of these Terms.

Manufacturer-Provided Information

Occasionally, nutritional information on a product's label may be incomplete. In these cases, I directly contact the manufacturer for missing details. For example, I have reached out to manufacturers of protein supplements to obtain the amino acid profile when it wasn’t available on the packaging.

Product Labels

Nutritional data is often derived directly from the product's label as provided by the manufacturer. However, this data can be simplified or rounded, which may lead to inaccuracies. When necessary, I review and correct this data based on more reliable sources. For instance, some mustard brands list "zero calories" due to small serving sizes, even though this is not always accurate.

National Food Databases

Many online nutrition services rely on national food databases for their data. At 2000KCAL, I source data from the following reliable databases:

USDA (USA): fdc.nal.usda.gov
FRIDA (Denmark): frida.fooddata.dk
NUTRIDATABAZE.CZ (Czech Republic): nutridatabaze.cz
MATVARETABELLEN.NO (Norway): matvaretabellen.no
NAEHRWERTDATEN.CH (Switzerland): naehrwertdaten.ch
SOKNARINGSINNEHALL.LIVSMEDELSVERKET.SE (Sweden): soknaringsinnehall.livsmedelsverket.se
CIQUAL (France): ciqual.anses.fr
BEDCA (Spain): bedca.net
NUTTAB (Australia): foodstandards.gov.au

While these databases are invaluable, the USDA is particularly noteworthy for its comprehensive and detailed data.

Glycemic Index

Glycemic index data is primarily sourced from the University of Sydney and peer-reviewed journal studies. In some cases, the values are averaged or median values are used, resulting in slight deviations from individual figures as published by the referenced sources.

Protein Quality

Where amino acid profiles are available, the quality of protein is assessed using reference patterns provided by the Report of a joint FAO/WHO/UNU Expert Consultation (1985: Geneva) and the Joint FAO/WHO/UNU Expert Consultation on Protein and Amino Acid Requirements in Human Nutrition (‎2002 : Geneva, Switzerland)‎, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, World Health Organization & United Nations University. (‎2007)‎. Protein and amino acid requirements in human nutrition : report of a joint FAO/WHO/UNU expert consultation. World Health Organization.

Daily Values

Daily Values (DVs) are established by the FDA. I follow their recommendations for determining appropriate nutrient amounts.

Dietary Reference Values (DRVs) & Nutrient Reference Values (NRVs)

These are guided by European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which provides essential nutrient intake levels to maintain overall health in the European Union. Please see the Summary of Dietary Reference Values
