Methodology

How foods are selected, scored, and verified

The site uses a practical fit score to compare foods by protein, sugar, fiber, portion size, prep effort, and source quality.

Selection criteria

Foods are selected when they are likely to answer a real search or shopping question: restaurant fallback orders, grocery staples, protein snacks, small meal builders, or common comparison choices.

The directory favors entries that are repeatable, easy to understand, and practical for lower-appetite days.

Fit score

The score is an editorial sorting aid, not a medical grade. Higher scores generally reflect stronger protein density, lower sugar, helpful fiber, smaller serving practicality, simpler prep, and clearer source data.

Sodium, added sugar, digestive tolerance, allergies, medication side effects, and personal medical needs can change whether a food is a good fit.

Source labels

Verified from official source means the entry was checked against a brand, restaurant, or manufacturer page. Verified from retailer source means a retailer nutrition listing was used. Verified from third-party nutrition database means a database was used when official public data was incomplete or unavailable.

Seed estimate means the entry still needs deeper source verification before it should be treated as publication-grade data.

Update policy

Nutrition data and menus can change. Entries include a last-checked date so old data can be audited and refreshed.

Before stronger nutrition claims or paid products are launched, the content should be reviewed by a qualified registered dietitian.
