Dados

De onde os dados saem, como as formulas sao calculadas e onde a estimativa perde precisao.

In short

Use the numbers on this site as a guide. Neither the food database nor the calculator promises perfect precision.

  • Food pages are based on Open Food Facts data and cleaned up before publication.
  • The calculator gives a starting estimate, not a personal medical target.
  • If numbers disagree, the package and your real weight trend matter more.

Como o site funciona

Principios de publicacao

De onde os dados saem

A base usa o recorte RU do Open Food Facts. Antes da publicacao, os dados passam por normalizacao para que as paginas fiquem legiveis e comparaveis.

Nao colocamos o dump bruto no ar do jeito que veio. Primeiro deixamos os campos mais claros, depois montamos sobre isso as paginas e os calculos.

Com que criterio publicamos

Publicamos apenas paginas que facam sentido para pessoas, nao so para indice de busca.

Resultados de busca e estados temporarios dos calculadores nao entram como paginas principais do site.
