What does a food table look like?

A food table is a visual representation of the nutritional content of different foods. It lists various foods, their serving sizes, and their nutrient information, such as calories, macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats), vitamins, and minerals. Food tables can be found in nutrition textbooks, online databases, and packaged food labels. Here is a simplified example of a food table:

| Food item | Serving size | Calories | Carbohydrates | Protein | Fat |

|:--------------------:|:------------:|:--------:|:-------------:|:--------:|:----:|

| Apple | 1 medium | 95 | 25 g | 0.5 g | 0.3 g |

| Banana | 1 medium | 105 | 27 g | 1 g | 0.4 g |

| Broccoli | 1 cup | 30 | 6 g | 2.6 g | 0.3 g |

| Chicken breast | 4 oz. | 140 | 0 g | 26 g | 3 g |

| Brown rice | 1 cup | 215 | 45 g | 5 g | 1.5 g |

| Yogurt (plain) | 1 cup | 140 | 15 g | 12 g | 3 g |

Each row in the table represents a different food item. The serving size column indicates the amount of food for which the nutrient information is provided. The subsequent columns list the calories, carbohydrates, proteins, and fat content in the specified serving size. Food tables can be a useful resource for understanding the nutritional composition of different foods and for making informed dietary choices.
