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.

Another issue with the nutrition score is that “Added Sugar” isn’t declared on every nutrition label globally. For example, in Germany, it’s not. Perhaps a fallback system could be implemented, using “Total Sugar” for calculations.

The nutrition scores look unreliable

My morning oats had a score of 73 but pepsi had a score of 79. The scoring seems off. Can you double check this bit? The description feature also doesn’t pick up food accurately. Otherwise I love the convenience of having it all in one app.

Hi Rijwa, Thanks for reporting this.
Can please report it via in-app? please go to Bevel -> Nutrition -> upper right corner, tap the 3 dot icon -> Report Food, so we can check and fix this one directly for you?

Food Quality vs pre-workout drink.
robert
Once again, thanks for version 2.0, it's great, but as we know, it still needs some improvement. The food quality and rating are excellent, but I noticed that it would be helpful to differentiate or rather take into account that a pre-workout meal with a high amount of carbohydrates is not the same as sugar, and it would be great if the program could consider this and ideally differentiate between the two. At the moment, I consumed water with protein and honey before running, and the meal quality was rated 53, even though the next meal after running was rated 83, the overall average is 66, which is quite low. The program could (it sees that the workout is done) analyze the amount of carbohydrates needed for the workout and consider them as the amount required to replenish glycogen. I am a runner, and today I ran 6.5 minutes at a T10 pace, so it was quite an intense run. I hope I expressed myself clearly.

Could the automatic low carbs be improved I logged a boiled egg with 0.6g carbs and was flagged as containing carbs therefore not low carb. Maybe some sort of percentage limit allowing some carbs
Randell
Lyndon Slassor: Hi, you should be able to change the threshold for this, please go to Bevel -> Journal -> 3 dot icon (upper right corner) -> Customize Journal -> Search for Low Carbs -> Tap the "Gear Icon" to change the limit/threshold.

Nutrition score (food quality not just macros)
Tomek Gniewko Bielak
I feel like the nutrition score only takes macros into consideration and not quality of food, perhaps it should be against macros and quality best of both worlds

Possible wrong calculation in Nutrition Score

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
