Our Calorie Controlled recipes are all under 600 calories per serving, including any ingredients you add at home (like oil, butter, flour, salt, pepper, or milk).
We use standardised nutritional values (from McCance & Widdowson’s Composition of Foods) to calculate the calories, including the ingredients that aren’t supplied by Gousto. You can see them in the table below:
