Scan, Swap & Score
SCAN foods to generate clear Nutrient Consume Score (NCS) values that measure nutritional balance highlighting the healthiest options.
SWAP to healthier foods by choosing the more balanced suggestions, aiming for more green & yellow and fewer orange & red scores.
SCORE meals & recipes to get personalized suggestions for simple additions or swaps that make the foods you love even healthier.
It’s a strategy game with tangible rewards, achieving total NCS & nutrient subscores in the green. Here’s an example from the app.
