Easy Nutrition

Thanks to my good friend Kristi Lahusen, who shared this:

A great website prepared by the USDA, which allows you to search literally ANY food item and it will display a report of all the types of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and everything you wanted to know about those foods that you may find yourself asking, ”What is really in this thing?”.

Check out the link below.   Also she provided an example of what one looks like for a cup of almonds:
