Improve Nutrition Score
in progress
Ifti Hossain
Love the nutrition score feature, I've been logging food for just a few days and already it's helping me improve my eating habits. I was taking a close look at the scores of some of the foods I was logging however and it doesn't always make sense.
For example, a shot of espresso scores a 100/100 for Added Sugars, but there are are no sugars added to it. When I logged a tbsp of Honey, it scored a 1/100 for Added Sugars, and 62/100 for Sodium, even though in the nutrition label it showed 17g of Added Sugars and 0.8mg of Sodium. I'm noticing other cases where Sodium and Added Sugars may possibly getting mixed up? But not completely sure.
Also the Nutrition Score doesnt make sense for some items. A shot of whiskey has a 100/100 Nutrition Score but I would hardly think that alcohol should score so high. Honey similarly has a Nutrition Score of 2/100.

Possible wrong calculation in Nutrition Score

Emin Emini
I don’t know how nutri score is calculated but this might be wrong.
Please check screenshots.
Is Turkey Bacon healthier than Fresh Juice or Apple?

Hi Emin Emini, Thanks for reporting this. We are aware of the Nutrition score issue for some foods that is in our Database, rest assured that we are continuously improving this. For now, let me merge this to an existing ticket for you.
Also, it is faster to report food/nutrition related issues such as food score, missing food, incorrect macros, etc by going to Bevel -> Nutrition -> upper right corner, 3 dot icon -> Report Food.

Insights for insulin dependent diabetic

Kyle
Currently the insights into nutrition doesn’t take into account artificial insulin dependence for diabetics. So it appears like the nutrition score is bad for food which would otherwise be better if my body was responding normally to eating carbs.
I have a cgm and it seems like my nutrition score isn’t good if my blood glucose levels aren’t good

In recipes- food score per ingredient
Tiago Rodrigues
When we see a good or bad food score for a recipe, we don’t know what ingredients are contributing positively or negatively. What to eat more of or what to avoid.
I would like to see that score per ingredient the same way it is presented if the ingredients are logged individually and not in recipes.
Typical use case. Take a picture of the dish, Bevel detect multiple ingredients but I don’t know what are good and what is not.

Weird Fitness Score calculations
Nil Camprubí
I crackers often, they are pretty healthy but they get a 33 score. However a beer I drank got 80, which doesn’t make any sense to me.
I imagine that is a mistake, the crackers affected too much on the score too, considering they are just a snack, they shouldn’t impact that much on the fitness score.

Hi Nil Camprubí, Can you please share a screenshot of this so we can take a closer look?

Nil Camprubí: Gotcha, let me merge this to an existing ticket for you.
This is an issue that we are continuously improving in terms of our Nutrition Score and Food Database.
Also, it will be faster if you report the food/nutrition related issues directly within the app by going to Bevel -> Nutrition -> upper right corner, "Report food".

Customize Nutrition Score
Mac
Allow the user to define (to a limited extent) what THEIR idea nutrition looks like. For example: low sodium, low glycemic index, vitamins in vegetables, etc. — I’m a runner so I eat simply carbs at times before runs, but it gives me a low score. Also, I sweat a lot so I consume more sodium. I’d like to be able to not have all the sodium count against my score and not have the Gu packets count so negatively.
Amanda
Hi Mac, this is a great point. We'll be incorporating something along these lines in the next Nutrition release :)

Most of the foods I scan are way out calories carbs etc
Dale Broadley
If you implemented an option to be able to manually update the macros whilst the databases are sorted that would be amazing until that point I will continue to use nutracheck as for uk users that is the gold standard
