About us
What Dada Diet is, and what it aims for.
Writing the number is easy; writing where it came from is hard
Our goal is to strip nutrition information — based on trustworthy sources — of complex medical language and present it in a way anyone can use in daily life.
What does Dada Diet do?
The platform has four main areas: guide and tip content that answers everyday nutrition questions, calorie and macro calculators, goal-based nutrition programmes, and a directory where you meet dietitians. All of these areas are run under the same editorial discipline: none of them diagnose, none of them replace treatment, all of them exist for general information purposes.
Some visitors are curious about a single number (like the calories of one meal), while others look for a weekly programme or a long-term collaboration with a dietitian; the platform is built to meet both needs under the same roof.
How is content prepared?
Every nutrition figure — calorie value, portion weight, reference intake amount — is based on one of three sources: TürKomp, TÜBER 2022 and USDA FoodData Central. Which of these was used appears separately in the record of the relevant food or calculator.
A number without a citable source is not published.
You can read what these three sources are for, and how they differ, in detail on the Scientific Sources page.
Articles and guide content are prepared by the Dada Diet Nutrition Team and reviewed against this content standard before publication. We also want to state clearly why the byline stays institutional: a real dietitian's name is put under a piece of content only once that person has actually read it, approved it, and the date of that approval is on record.
Until these three conditions are met together, content stays signed as Dada Diet Nutrition Team — the goal is not to imply an expert approval that does not exist. As of today, no content — including these pages — yet meets the third condition, a recorded, dated expert approval; that is why all of it is published under the institutional byline.
What tools will you find?
- Calorie and macro calculators
- Short tests that measure nutrition habits
- Goal-based nutrition programmes
- A food library referenced to 100 grams
- Contact and appointments with dietitians
Each of these tools explains, on its own page, how it works and which source it relies on; which equation a calculator uses, or what a test's result bands are based on, is written on that tool's own page.
What is on the platform today?
What we do, and what we do not
These three sentences sit behind every content decision.
Our purpose
To strip nutrition information based on trustworthy sources of complex medical language, and present it in a way anyone can use in daily life.
Our limit
No screen makes a diagnosis, recommends a treatment, or describes disease management. Personalised assessment is only done by a verified dietitian.
Our signature
A real dietitian's name is put under content only once that person has read it, approved it, and the approval date is on record. Until all three are met, content stays under the institutional byline.
Where do the numbers come from?
Every nutrition figure — calorie, portion, reference intake — is based on one of three databases, and which one appears separately in the record citation.
TürKomp
National Food Composition Database. Laboratory-analysed composition of foods produced and consumed in Türkiye; first choice for local varieties and traditional products.
TÜBER 2022
Turkey Nutrition Guide. Reference intake values, portion definitions and age/gender group recommendations come from here.
USDA FoodData Central
International composition source. Used when a food has no TürKomp match in the same preparation state; the record id used is shown in the citation.
Scientific Sources and Methodology
Source versions, the four fields of a citation, and why two sources are never mixed on the same row.

Articles and guides
Guide, tip and note content that answers everyday nutrition questions.
Calculators
Calorie, macro, water and body measurements. Every tool states which equation it uses on its own page.
Food library
Nutrition values referenced to 100 grams; every record carries its source and access date in its citation.
Nutrition programmes
Goal-based weekly programmes, a shopping list and daily tracking.
Dietitian directory
Contact and appointments with dietitians. Personalised assessment only happens here.
