Check Calculations compares user-entered nutrient information with common nutritional calculations to ensure data accuracy at the Ingredient and Recipe levels. Notification of discrepancies as well as details of the calculations performed will be available to the user. Calculations include Calories, Fat, Sugars, Protein, and Weight estimations. Users can determine Calories using two different calculations (4-4-9-7 or 4-4-9-2-7), depending on their unique needs. If the difference between the entered value and the estimated value is more than 5%, Genesis Foods will display a warning sign. Once the problem is fixed on the main screen, the warning sign will disappear.
To access Check Calculations:
- Click on Nutrients in the Quick Links in the right-hand column.
- Select Check Calculations in the top right-hand corner above the nutrient table. Note: There will be a red dot if the difference between the entered value and the estimated value is more than 5%.
- Choose the correct calculation for calories for the Ingredient or Recipe from the dropdown menu.
4. Note any discrepancies highlighted in red, and check that the amounts entered are correct.
Note: Check Calculations is intended for user validation of nutrition information. Alerts will not prevent ingredient or recipe approval.
