SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR CALCULATING, DISPLAYING, MODIFYING, AND USING SINGLE DIETARY INTAKE SCORE REFLECTIVE OF OPTIMAL QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF CONSUMABLES

摘要

Embodiments of the disclosed system calculate a single score ("SDIS") for dietary intake over a period of time. In one embodiment, the single score is an indication of whether a subset of measurable nutrients (determined to be indicative of nutritional health) and energy consumed are within a healthy range that is specific to a user. Embodiments of the disclosed system determine whether each nutrient consumed falls within a healthy range. This range may be calculated by, for example, using a plurality of possible minimum intake values and an upper limit (if one exists) for each nutrient. Similarly, the system determines whether the energy consumed falls within a healthy range. The averaged nutrient score is then multiplied by an energy score to arrive at the final score. In an embodiment, the system particularly emphasizes the impact of the energy score treated as a multiplier rather than as a nutrient.
