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.

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.

Hi Mac, this is a great point. We'll be incorporating something along these lines in the next Nutrition release :)

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

Are you interpreting the scores the wrong way round? A high nutrition score is good, so honey, as you say being pretty much pure sugar, which is bad, gets a low score. Espresso gets a high score because, from a sugar / GI point of view, is good… Obviously this is from a sugar / GI point of view - espresso isn’t very nutritious and too much is bad, so it would be good to be more transparent about how all the foods eaten in a day add up to an overall score.

Hi Dale Broadley, Thanks for the feedback! This is something we're actively working to improve. We also have a planned update that will allow users to edit or update macros as they log them, I'll go ahead and merge this into the existing ticket.
Grey also responded to a similar post on our subreddit recently, which might give you more insight into what's coming for the Nutrition feature: https://www.reddit.com/r/bevelhealth/comments/1ks4h1i/comment/mtip2r1/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
If you don't mind, can you please share a screenshot of which foods you've logged and the details it shows in Bevel?

Is there a separate place to report incorrect food nutrition facts?
Simple Nature Coconut Clusters are showing 14000 mcg Vitamin D. Bag facts say 0mcg.

Hi lord_lorien, Can you please send a screenshot of this food that you've logged? and yes, let me merge this ticket to an existing one for you.
