Hi! I am working on a project to obtain the information of the nutritional tables of the products and I want to use Tesseract OCR for it but I need to know if it gives me, apart from the characters in the image, the position in which each character is found, because I need that It is well related, for example, that the 180 calories belong to calories and not to sugars. can you help me with that information. Thank you.

Try tsv or hocr output. 

Also Google search for receipt recognition with tesseract. I have seen few examples where item names and prices are being recognised. You could try similar with nutritional information.
