You will have seen that foods are categorised into four groups within the app. Here is a bit more information on those groups:

🟢 Dark green

  • Score of 85-100: enjoy daily

  • Excellent choice for your overall health. You can eat these whenever you want. They are the building blocks for a balanced, diverse diet.

​💚 Light green

  • Score of 55-84: enjoy frequently

  • A good choice for every other day. Supports your health as part of a balanced diet, though some may be better in smaller portions.

💛 Yellow

  • Score of 25-54: enjoy in moderation

  • There are healthier swaps, but these can still fit into a balanced diet 1-2x a week, in lower quantities. Try to combine with more nourishing ingredients.

🧡 Amber

  • Score of 0-24: enjoy occasionally

  • These foods may not help your health, but they’re not off limits. Enjoy about once a month, especially if they bring joy or meaning.

Remember that your overall diet pattern is by far the most important factor for your health, not any one food or meal score. You can see your diet score in the Diet tab in the app.
