How do I add ingredients and supplements?

Build a recipe by adding ingredients, adjusting portions, and optionally supplementing the diet while the nutrient balance updates live.

Use the recipe builder to add ingredients one by one and adjust their amounts.

Typical flow

Open a recipe in the calculator.
Add the ingredients you already want to use.
Adjust the quantities until the base of the recipe looks right.
Add supplements if the balance still needs correction.
Watch the analysis panel update in real time after each change.

What the live calculator helps with

As you edit the recipe, BarfLab updates:

nutrient coverage,
key ratios such as calcium to phosphorus,
warnings about deficiencies or excesses.

Good practice

Start with the main ingredients first and use supplements to fine-tune the final balance. That usually makes the recipe easier to understand and adjust later.
