"You just don't find those things in books with nutrient counts," she says of those types of dishes.
Sodium, sugar and saturated fats count against a food; fiber and naturally occurring nutrients count in a food's favor.
Mr. Vashisht and Mr. Cherian first digitized hundreds of pieces of data on Indian raw ingredients, with their micro- and macro-nutrient counts, from dusty files at the National Institute of Nutrition in Hyderabad.
The MBC was determined by plating samples from the treated wells (as given above) with concentrations above the MIC on to fresh plates of nutrient agar and counting viable CFU/ml.
Manure Production rates are based on livestock head count and nutrient content of manure.

HiMedia, Mumbai, India King's B Agar Pseudomonas spp. HiMedia, Mumbai, India Nutrient Agar Total viable count HiMedia, Mumbai, India.
Colonies of bacteria were counted on nutrient agar after 24-h incubation at 36 °C and colonies of Penicillium were counted on SDA after 1-week incubation at 25 °C.
(And while it's important to look across a span of meals over time when evaluating your nutrient intake, every meal counts when ensuring you're getting necessary vitamins and minerals).
The bacterial population measurement with the indicator strains in pure and mixed cultures was performed by counting in Nutrient Agar medium (Oxoid) to differentiate between the colonies of Leuconostoc and Listeria spp. where latter appear larger, the Baird Parker medium (Oxoid) to count S. aureus and MRS to count the Leuconostoc strain.
The evolution of the oil was followed in the dark and at 5 °C for 64 days by collecting sacrificial water samples at fixed intervals and analyzing them for a wide range of chemical and biological parameters including volatile components, saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons, dispersant markers, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, microbial cell counts and microbial population dynamics.
