How the Score Works
The SnapFresh score is based on:
- Meal composition — Higher scores are given to meals with vegetables, fruits, lean protein, and whole grains.
- Preparation methods — Cooking methods like grilling, steaming, or baking score higher than frying.
- Processing level — Minimally processed foods score higher than heavily processed foods.
- Balance — Meals with a good balance of nutrients tend to score higher.
- Penalties — Scores may be reduced for factors such as fried foods, sugary drinks, or high sodium.
Why This Score?
Your score is calculated using visible meal components such as vegetables, protein, grains, and preparation style.
Because this is based on image analysis, results are estimates and may not capture exact nutritional values.
