Understanding Nutrition Score and Food Quality Contributors

The Nutrition Score is a continuous evaluation of your diet, combining food quality and glucose impact to assess your metabolic health.

Your score helps you understand how your daily food choices support overall health and balance.

• Your Nutrition Score remains locked each day until approximately one-third of your calorie goal is logged.

• If you have a personal calorie goal set, this is used; otherwise, the app calculates a default goal based on your recent energy intake and activity levels (TDEE).

• As you log foods, you earn or lose points based on Food Quality.

• You can connect a CGM device to track Glucose Impact.

• The goal is to maximize your score by maintaining a healthy, balanced diet.

You can view your Nutrition Score:

• On the Home Page, underneath the Nutrition section.

• By tapping into Nutrition from the Home Page (your score appears at the top).

To see a detailed breakdown:

• Scroll down to Food Quality Contributors within the Nutrition screen.

• Tap the relevant Food Quality Contributor to see a breakdown of the foods impacting it.

Food Quality Contributors show which components are positively or negatively impacting your score.

Positive Food Contributors

  • +10 points when you have met your daily intake of healthy oils. For an average person, healthy oils with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats make up 20-35% of your daily calories. Once you reach +10 points, no more are added.

• Omega-3s

  • +10 points when you have met your daily intake of fatty fish and omega-3s. For an average person, this is 250mg of omega-3 per day. Once you reach +10 points, no more are added.

If there are specific contributors you do not want affecting your score (due to allergies, dietary restrictions, or personal preferences), you can exclude up to four using one of the methods below.

In some cases, excluding certain contributors can make your score more relevant to your goals. For example, if you follow a carnivore diet, you may want to turn off red meat to avoid it negatively impacting your score despite being a core part of your nutrition. Similarly, endurance athletes may choose to exclude added sugars or sodium, since their higher energy and electrolyte demands differ from standard guidelines.

These adjustments help tailor your score to better reflect your individual needs and lifestyle.
