Food Data
Checked food data, kept current.
The database behind ArcBody, with restaurant menus checked line by line against each chain's own figures.
- 2,791
- everyday foods, from USDA data and written by hand
- 208
- restaurant dishes
- 18
- chains in the US and Canada
- Sep 2026
- last full check of every restaurant item
What's in it
Everyday foods from USDA FoodData Central, cleaned so names stay short and readable, plus foods written by hand for what the official lists miss. Restaurant menus come from chains in the US and Canada.
How it's checked
Each restaurant dish is compared with the chain's own published nutrition figures, to within 10 kcal, 1 g of each macro and 20 mg of sodium. Dishes a chain no longer sells are removed.
How it stays current
Corrections and new foods ship with every ArcBody release. Anyone using the app can flag a number that looks wrong, right from the food.
