The Bazu Score
Is the way you eat working?
Not a score for a food. A score for you. Your last 30 days of meals, in one number from 0 to 100.
For informational use only. Not medical advice.
What it is made of
Three pieces make one number
Every meal you log gets read three ways.
Nutrition
60 of 100 points
How nutritious the food is. Fiber, protein and good fats push it up. Added sugar, salt and saturated fat pull it down.
Energy
25 of 100 points
What it leaves you with. How long the food keeps you going. Read off the food, not measured from you.
Ingredients
15 of 100 points
How clean the ingredients are. The label, checked for additives of concern. The worst one sets the tier.
The math
Nutrition carries the most weight
60 points for nutrition, 25 for energy, 15 for ingredients. One rule on top: a risky label caps the Nutrition Score at 55.
The window
Your last 30 days, not one plate
One meal moves it a little. A month of them moves it a lot.
Days first
Meals are averaged into days first, so a snack never outweighs a dinner.
Recent days count more
A day two weeks back counts half as much as today. A rough week fades as better days land on top of it.
Grey until it is fair
The ring stays grey until you have logged a breakfast, a lunch and a dinner. Snacks do not count.
The scale
What a score means
Seven tiers, higher is better. A food's Nutrition Score uses the same seven.
Whole food, rich in fiber and protein, clean labels.

Nutrition score
Its energy
Keeps you full. Slow fuel, it lasts till your next meal.
Its ingredients
Clean. Fresh food, no list to flag.
Where it stops
What it is not
Three things it never does.
Not about you
No weight, age, sex, goal or condition goes into it. Only what you ate moves your number.
Not a health measure
It rates food, not people. It diagnoses nothing.
Not a measurement
The energy piece is an estimate from the food. Nothing was read from you.
