About HowManyCarbs.org

This site is now a mix of older pages based on data from 2006 on a few of the individual food pages, kept to avoid dead links, and new data from 2015-09-23 on the category pages with searchable tables, and on the updated individual food pages. You can tell the new pages apart from the old ones by the look of the table and that the new pages have a green, horizontal category link button row (like the one below), whereas the old ones have a blue, vertical link button row.

Being on this page, you should now be isolated from the "old environment".

Source of the data

The source of the data can be found here. The source is the Norwegian Food Composition Database 2006 (for older pages) and 2015, created by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, The Norwegian Directorate of Health, and University of Oslo, in Norwegian, quality-assured labs. Their site is here. If you want the data, please download it from their web pages, where it's available for download in Excel/CSV format.
The data has been reproduced to the best of my abilities, but I cannot be held liable for errors in the data. Please refer to the original data from The Norwegian Food Safety Authority and affiliates for serious reuse.

Things to consider

Given that the data has been collected and verified in Norway, some of the food items are specific to Norway. Of course the same vegetable or fish is the same vegetable or fish all over the world, for instance, although there can be different types and regional differences, and changes over time. Check the description for additional details.
