Question 1

What is a personalized food score?

Accepted Answer

A personalized food score rates any food or meal from 0–100 based on YOUR specific health goals, dietary preferences, and conditions — not a generic nutrition score. A food that scores 90 for weight loss may score 60 for muscle gain.

Question 2

How is the score calculated?

Accepted Answer

The AI factors in: your goal (weight loss, muscle gain, blood sugar, energy), dietary restrictions, calorie needs, macronutrient targets, processing level, and the food's nutrient profile — then generates a goal-aligned score with actionable tips.

Question 3

Can I set multiple health goals?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the tool allows up to 3 simultaneous goals. The AI weights each goal and produces a composite score, prioritizing the goals you mark as highest priority.

Question 4

Is the score different from a generic nutrition label?

Accepted Answer

Completely different. Nutrition labels show what's in food. The personalized score shows how well that food serves YOUR body and goals. A diabetic sees a very different score for white rice than a marathon runner.

Question 5

Does it account for food sensitivities?

Accepted Answer

Yes — input your sensitivities (gluten, dairy, FODMAPs, nightshades, etc.) and any food containing those ingredients will be flagged and scored lower accordingly.

Question 6

How accurate is the AI food scoring?

Accepted Answer

The AI nutrition analysis is trained on USDA FoodData Central and peer-reviewed dietary guidelines. Personalization accuracy improves with more profile detail. Individual metabolic differences (gut microbiome, genetics) cannot be fully modeled.

Question 7

Can it help with diabetes or prediabetes?

Accepted Answer

Yes — selecting 'blood sugar control' as your goal activates glycemic impact scoring, which factors in glycemic index, glycemic load, fiber content, and carbohydrate type. However, this is educational only — not medical advice.

Question 8

How does it differ from MyFitnessPal's nutrition tracking?

Accepted Answer

MyFitnessPal shows generic nutrition data. FoodIdentifier's personalized score interprets that data in the context of your goals, generating a single actionable number and specific improvement tips — not just a macro count.

Question 9

Can I scan food photos to get a personalized score?

Accepted Answer

Yes — after setting up your profile, the AI Photo Analyzer uses your goals to score every meal you scan. Your profile is applied automatically to all scans.

Question 10

What goals are supported?

Accepted Answer

Weight loss, muscle gain, blood sugar control, heart health, anti-inflammatory, gut health, energy optimization, athletic performance, pregnancy nutrition, and general wellness.

Question 11

How do I improve a low score?

Accepted Answer

The tool provides 3 specific, actionable suggestions for each low-scoring food — like 'swap white rice for brown rice (+12 points for your blood sugar goal)' or 'add avocado to this salad (+8 points for your weight loss goal)'.

Question 12

Is my health data private?

Accepted Answer

Your profile data is stored locally in your browser session by default. Creating an account saves your profile server-side with full encryption. We never sell personal health data.

Question 13

Can children use this tool?

Accepted Answer

The tool can be configured for children's nutritional needs by selecting 'child (age 4–12)' or 'teen (13–17)' in the profile. Dietary reference intakes are adjusted accordingly.

Question 14

Does it work for meal prep and batch cooking?

Accepted Answer

Enter a full recipe with quantities and the tool calculates the score for the entire recipe plus per-serving nutrition. Pro users can save recipes and meal plans.

Question 15

Can I compare two foods side by side?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the comparison mode shows two foods' personalized scores simultaneously with a breakdown of where each food gains or loses points for your specific goals.
