Abstract
A nutrition indicator device includes a plurality of discs mounted on a pin, some of the discs being removable from the pin. Each side of each disc has an empty circular central area, and radially extending rows of numerical nutritional values for foods and the names of foods radially outwardly of such values. An opaque mask with a radially extending window is mounted on the pin for displaying the name of a single food and the nutritional values for a serving of the food when a disc below the mask is rotated to align a food name with the window.
