F.A.Q.
Answers to frequently asked questions.
💬 Where is the nutrient data coming from?
All nutrient data comes from Food Data Central from the US department of agriculture. (https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/)
💬 How do you calculate the scores?
The score per nutrient is based on the food's nutrient quantity compared to the food highest in this nutrient. The total score is the percentile of the sum of all the individual scores compared to all other foods.
💬 Is this the same as the ANDI score?
No, the formula and reference points are different. The ANDI score calculates nutritional density per calorie and we do per 100 grams. We are not aware of the exact formula of their calculations.
