How does NutriCal compare to a Food Lab?

There are two methods for one to extract nutrition facts, a food lab is a traditional approach where chemical analysis is performed in a lab. Food is physically given to the food lab and is tested for its nutritional value.

The process requires testing multiple times to obtain an average result of the same therefore it is not cost-effective as it costs approximately 500 to 800 SAR.

The Second type which is what we at NutriCal provide is a theoretical analysis, as it is done via taking data that have already been previously chemically tested, calculated, and scaled to those nutritional values to match the amount used in the final food product.
