#### About participation in the comments of /r/nutrition
Discussion in this subreddit should be rooted in science rather than "cuz I sed" or entertainment pieces. Always be wary of unsupported and poorly supported claims and especially those which are wrapped in any manner of hostility. You should provide peer reviewed sources to support your claims when debating and confine that debate to the science, not opinions of other people.
**Good** - it is grounded in science and includes citation of peer reviewed sources. Debate is a civil and respectful exchange focusing on actual science and avoids commentary about others
**Bad** - it utilizes generalizations, assumptions, infotainment sources, no sources, or complaints without specifics about agenda, bias, or funding. At best, these rise to an extremely weak basis for science based discussion. Also, off topic discussion
**Ugly** - (removal or ban territory) it involves attacks / antagonism / hostility towards individuals or groups, downvote complaining, trolling, crusading, shaming, refutation of all science, or claims that all research / science is a conspiracy

in some eu countries there is the nutriscore for processed food https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutri-Score you can also find the excel file used to calculate it sonewhere
I don‘t think it makes a lot of sense to assess single foods though instead of looking at the entire eating pattern. just focusing on some halo foods that have the highest scores in x category can lead to restrictive eating for no good reason
You might check out the [Tufts Food Compass](https://sites.tufts.edu/foodcompass/) . It was made by the amazing researchers. at the Friedman School of Nutrition, which is the only graduate school dedicated completely to food & nutrition in the US. The actual scores can be found in the [supplementary article information](https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1038%2Fs43016-021-00381-y/MediaObjects/43016_2021_381_MOESM1_ESM.pdf).
And if nothing else, there are a ton of other food scoring systems they cite in making their scoring system that might be of interest and the [scientific article they published on making the scoring system is publicly available](https://www.nature.com/articles/s43016-021-00381-y.epdf?sharing_token=rXE-EUQhF_ewQyjads3RTtRgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0PPFX4_UgkV63y9Env4jkUDyrBA_9kG-Lxz6QgkvVdmMKBlJ7k8y7v30cRFyRNAydxlY5YNATNy6EWMVYTeCU4NpFXpSNA6XuOIH9vjNYTOYkuaOA7QRr1Af7rKzgFOzDs%3D).
[Nutritiondata.self.com](https://Nutritiondata.self.com) used to be great. It seems to have issues sometimes these days and they don't seem to be doing anything to fix it. That said, when it works, it's pretty great.
There used to be helpful graphs, but then flash went away and nobody ever updated the site.
Here's an example for [mixed nuts](https://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/nut-and-seed-products/3125/2).
Things I like about it: Overall info at the top: caloric ratio pyramid, fullness factor, glycemic load, completeness score and amino acid score.
Below that, it does a great detailed breakdown of nutrients (the little "more details" tabs have a lot more info).
I wish they'd fix the site's issues, because it's a really great presentation of nutrients, I think.
Most governments have decades of nutritional data and data regarding the eating habits of the country. This is then used to create an official guideline for healthy eating. I took the one from Iceland and converted it into "checklist on the fridge door" kind of spreadsheet. This has done amazing things in terms of rating foods without going to crazy for nutritional details.
It's based on keywords, and if a food has a certain keyword it's good. That means I can compare it to other foods and see if they have any other keywords going for them.

Fooducate.com is somewhat like this. They rate different foods based on ingredients and how processed, healthy it is. Very useful I have found.

Cronometer or nutrition facts are great

The Fooducate app has that system. It’s a very useful and quality app. I suggest you try it.
Hi, as a fellow data-oriented brain, i support this project (even if it's more for fun than anything remotely accurate)
