How this score is calculated

Each meal is scored 0-100 by combining six per-100g style nutrient sub-scores into a weighted average, then rounding. Higher is better.

Component weights
  • Protein - 20%
  • Salt - 18%
  • Calories - 15%
  • Fibre - 15% (skipped if not published; score then capped at 80)
  • Saturated fat - 15%
  • Sugar - 12%
Sub-score thresholds (per meal)
  • Calories: ≤300 kcal = 100, ≤500 = 90, ≤600 = 80, ≤750 = 60, ≤900 = 35, else 15
  • Protein: 60% from grams (30g+ = 100) + 40% from % of energy from protein (20%+ = 100)
  • Fibre: ≥8g = 100, ≥6g = 85, ≥4g = 60, ≥2g = 35, else 10
  • Sugar: ≤5g = 100, ≤10g = 80, ≤15g = 55, ≤25g = 25, else 0
  • Salt: ≤1.5g = 100, ≤2.0g = 80, ≤2.4g = 60, ≤3g = 40, ≤4g = 15, else 0
  • Saturated fat: ≤3g = 100, ≤5g = 75, ≤7g = 40, ≤10g = 15, else 0
Caps

A single major watch-out limits the final score: salt >1.5g caps at 82, salt ≥3g or sat fat ≥6g caps at 78, kcal ≥900 caps at 70, salt ≥4g or sat fat ≥10g caps at 65.
