Viewing Single Nutrient Report- Helpful when trying to determine what foods are providing a high content of
specific nutrients

Troubleshooting- Make sure you use the correct oz… fluid oz versus weight oz when entering
measurements - Sometimes recipes come out looking wrong… if this happens go back and double
check your quantities and ingredients selected- If you can’t find the ingredient you are looking for, try rewording your search or
finding something similar, although there are many, food processor is not exhaustive
- Pay attention to abbreviations and brand (cnd = canned, bkd = baked)
