Extensive Nutrition Tables
We have put together these
nutritional tables to empower people to make better choices in
their diet. With both plant-based and animal-based whole foods
listed with a variety of nutrients, our visitors can avoid the
hype and "spin" offered by various industries regarding
what they should eat, so they may choose on their own. Some of
our nutrition pages do offer insights on nutrition from other
health-related sites. These are often lesser known aspects of
nutrition and the needs of the human body, as well as the effects
of certain foods on the body.
Calories - Calories are a way of comparing the
"fuel" values of various foods. Have a look at our
extensive table ranked by amount of calories, including many
nutrients.
Calcium - There's a great deal of calcium available to us
in natural plant-based sources. Animal sources may actually
defeat the purpose of consuming the product for calcium, in
addition to adding unnecessary fat and cholesterol! Here is
an extensive table with calcium content and other nutrients
of a variety of foods.
Fat -Dietary fat is a necessary nutrient to the human
diet and can also be abused. Find out how much fat is present
in the foods in your diet. We have two extensive tables of
foods ranked by their fat content. This table is ranked by
total fat. The other is ranked by fat as a percentage of
calories.
Fat as a percentage
of calories
Fiber - Fiber is a very important nutrient in the human
diet. Find out how much fiber is in the foods in your diet!
This extensive table lists foods in order of their fiber
content.
Food - Look up the nutrient content of your favorite
foods. We list them alphabetized by name.
Iron - Vegan foods contain a great deal of iron. Take a
look at our extensive table and see just how far down the
list the first animal source is.
Magnesium - All the top magnesium foods are plant-based. Have a look...
Protein - Most "meat-eaters" actually get too
much protein, which can lead to osteoporosis among other
health problems. Here is an extensive table of protein
content and other nutrients of a variety of foods.
Protein as a percentage
of calories -
This is a similar table, but based on the protein as a
percentage of calories.
We do plan to add even more extensive tables in the future.
This process can be a lengthy one, so we thank you for your
patience.
Our listings are based on a 100 gram serving of each (the
equivalent of 3.53 ounces), listed in a descending order from the
highest to the lowest amount of the specific nutrient. The source
of the data listed here is the USDA Nutrient Database: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/cgi-bin/nut_search.pl
.
As there are so many different "food" products out
there, many similar, but with different ingredients and since, by
far, humans would have spent most of their evolution consuming
whole foods, we chose to stick to whole foods in our tables.
Whatever type of diet a person may choose to eat, benefits have
been achieved simply by sticking to whole foods. Please keep in
mind: organic foods do not contain the pesticides, herbicides,
and fungicides, etc. that may be present on and in
conventional products. These unnatural chemicals are very recent
additions to the food chain, especially when looking at the grand
scheme of things. These toxic ingredients are also concentrated
in the meats and other high fat animal products of those animals
eating conventional animal feed. The consumption of such animal
products may result in even higher
concentrations of those chemicals in people who choose to consume
animal products. Supporting farms using such chemicals also
supports those chemicals getting into the ground; into the air
(possibly travelling hundreds of miles); and into the water
(streams, lakes, rivers, oceans, and possibly your water faucet!)
Many people, throughout this world, may not spent much time
considering all their food options. Thank you for taking the time
to invest some time and effort into you health (and loved ones!)
