Embodiment Construction

[0061] In general, embodiments of the systems disclosed herein calculate and display SDIS indicative of the effects of nutrients and energy expenditure. These scores are tailored to the specific individual consuming the consumable so that the score reflects the impact of consumption given the individual's specific needs. In addition, if the consumption is not within the range defined by the endpoint, the score reflects whether the endpoint is exceeded, ie the consumable is over-consumed or under-consumed, and the score is adjusted as appropriate (eg, more substantially). Importantly, embodiments of the disclosed system consider energy expenditure in a manner that reflects the actual contribution of energy to an individual's overall health, as opposed to the manner employed in existing scoring systems.

[0062]Most nutrient profiling models are designed to assess the nutritional quality of foods rather than meals or diets, and these models do tend to disentangle quality from qu...

Abstract

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.

More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for determining a single optimal score that reflects the optimal "quality" (i.e., the nutrient density of the food to be consumed) and "quantity" ( That is, both the amount of food / energy used to consume to provide the greatest nutritional benefit. Such systems and methods allow for the calculation of a single score of quality and quantity t...
