Questions
Where do the numbers come from?
From the Malaysian Food Composition Database (MyFCD), compiled by the Ministry of Health Malaysia and the Institute for Medical Research. Values are per 100 g of the food as eaten; serving sizes are the household measures recorded in the same database.
How accurate is the calorie count for a plate of nasi lemak?
It is the database average for a standard plate of nasi lemak. Your plate will differ with the amount of rice, sambal, egg and fried chicken, so add those as separate items for a closer estimate.
Are the teh tarik and kopi values measured?
No. The database has no kopitiam drinks, so teh tarik, teh C, teh O, kopi susu, kopi C and kopi O are estimates we calculated from MyFCD values for condensed milk, evaporated milk and sugar in a typical 250 ml cup. They are marked as estimates in the calculator, and your stall's recipe will differ.
Why is my favourite dish missing, or the sugar total marked with ≥?
The list covers the prepared dishes, kuih, fruit, staples and packaged drinks recorded in the Ministry of Health database, and a few entries were left out because their recorded figures contradicted each other. Sugar is only recorded for some foods, so a total marked ≥ may be higher than shown.
How is the daily goal worked out?
2,000 kcal is a common reference figure for adults, not advice for you. Your needs depend on age, size, activity and health, so change the goal to match what a doctor or dietitian suggests.
Is this medical advice?
No. It is an estimate for everyday meal planning. The data source states the Government of Malaysia is not liable for any loss or damage from using its information.
