Using our food calorie images: CC BY 4.0

You can use the calorie and macro images from our food pages in articles, posts, slides and course materials, commercial ones included — free and without asking. The one condition: credit Calories Not Count and link to the food page the image came from. That is the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license (CC BY 4.0).

What is covered

The calorie and macro images on our food pages, under the nutrition tables (PNG and WebP, with a “Download PNG” link). You may copy, publish, crop and build them into your own work. If you changed something, say so (“image adapted”).

How to credit

Under or next to the image, add a line like:

Source: Calories Not Count, https://caloriesnotcount.com/foods/buckwheat

Link to the food page, not just the home page. Where you can, also link to the license. On a web page that could be:

<figure>
  <img src="https://caloriesnotcount.com/infographics/buckwheat-calories.png" alt="Buckwheat calories and macros per 100 g and per serving">
  <figcaption>Source: <a href="https://caloriesnotcount.com/foods/buckwheat">Calories Not Count</a>, licensed under <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">CC BY 4.0</a></figcaption>
</figure>

In video, print or posts without links, “Source: Calories Not Count” and the site address are enough. Keep the site name and address on the image — they are part of the credit.

Where the numbers come from

The figures on each image are the ones in the page’s table: from open food composition tables (USDA FoodData Central, ANSES Ciqual, UK CoFID, Frida); the source is named on the image itself and under “Where the numbers come from”. Nutrition figures are facts; the source tables’ own licenses and terms are on the data sources and licenses page. The numbers are for reference, not medical advice.

What is not covered

• the Calories Not Count name, logo and icon on their own — crediting us does not mean we endorse your work;
• the text of our pages and articles, the app and its code;
• the source tables’ data as such — it is available on its own terms (see data sources);
• third-party material, where it appears on the site.
