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.

A more clear nutritional and glucose explanation

For instance, a food like chicken won’t have any sugar, but the score is saying 100/100. I find that really confusing because, is it referring to the fact that the sugar rating is out of 100, or is the food quality good because there’s no sugar? The same thing applies to glucose readings. It says that the exposure for a food is 10/100, but is that good or bad? Yes, the exposure was low, which is a benefit for blood sugar, or is it saying that out of 100 percent, it was bad?

More accurate food scores

Please make food scores more sensitive to things that provide vitamins and minerals such as sports drinks rather than just macros and calories. While it’s important to factor in all data points when I log a drink that has several vitamins and minerals I get a terrible food scores. While I agreed the drink doesn’t have much nutritional value it does provide important benefits. This could be considered for supplements also. I also have seen some low food scores for things I would expect to be considered healthy and vice versa. I don’t have any examples on hand right now though. I will attach an image of what I am referring to.

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)

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

I don’t know how nutri score is calculated but this might be wrong.
