Nutritional Info.

Is there a web site that has a data base of nutritional information on various foods. For example you could type in "Sweet Potato" and get the nutritional info: calories, fat, iron, etc.


Fit day doesn't seem to have sweet potato on it's list. I've substituted yams in the past

One of the sites I've found recently is dietfacts.com


Here's the info link for sweet potatoes; http://www.dietfacts.com/search.asp- does that help?

Doh! I didn't notice. I just kept flipping back and forth. lol


Actually found the more specific sweet potato fries which I had for lunch and am considering picking some sweet potatoes up and having more for dinner. Very tasty!

Hey Gretchen - sweet potato is actually in Fitday, but under one word - Sweetpotato.
