A plate of salad is zero points. So is broccoli, an apple, a bowl of berries. Grilled chicken is one. That's the idea behind Nomscore: the food that's good for you barely costs anything, so eating well stops being a math problem. YOUR WHOLE DAY IN ONE NUMBER You get a daily points budget built from your age, weight, activity and goal — most people land between 18 and 26. Whole foods cost close to nothing. The more processed a food is, the more it costs. That's the entire signal, and after a week you stop needing to look it up. Nothing is off-limits. A slice of pepperoni pizza is 5 points. If it fits your day, it fits your life. KNOW BEFORE YOU EAT Browse 500+ everyday foods with real photos, points, macros, and a plain-English note on why each one scores the way it does. Sort by points, or filter for high-protein, vegan, or gluten-free. Check a food before you order it, not after. A WEEK OF GOOD MEALS, SORTED FOR YOU Answer a few questions and Nomscore builds you a personalized 7-day plan: - A real recipe for every meal, with step-by-step instructions - Cook sessions that batch the prep, so one evening feeds three days - A shopping list grouped by aisle, with a pantry tracker so you don't rebuy the olive oil - One tap to swap a meal that doesn't fit your day LOGGING TAKES SECONDS - Say it. Tap once and talk: "two eggs and toast with coffee." Your speech is transcribed on your device; the audio never leaves your phone. - Photograph it. Point the camera at your plate and our AI names the food and scores it. Photos are analyzed once and never stored. - Type it. One sentence is plenty. Got something wrong? Tap any logged food to fix it — change the amount in its own units (slices, cups, pieces), rename it, or remove it. Your points update instantly. NUTRITION, IF YOU WANT IT Turn on Advanced Nutrition for calories, protein, carbs, and fat at a glance, plus trends over time — quiet meters against everyday reference values. Never a red number, never a lecture. These are AI-generated estimates for general wellness and curiosity only, not medical or nutritional advice, and they never change your points. STREAKS THAT FORGIVE Log daily and watch your streak grow. Miss a day and a streak freeze covers you — you get three. Milestones earn a quiet celebration, and 56 badges mark the way. Start a private group with family or friends and cheer each other on with daily, weekly, and monthly leaderboards. Every social feature is optional. A CALM PLACE TO KEEP THIS UP - A home screen that follows the daylight, from dawn to night - Weekly, monthly, and yearly trends you can scrub through - Optional weight check-ins with a trend line - Works offline and syncs when you're back - Full dark mode, VoiceOver support, English and Spanish PRIVACY FIRST Your voice is transcribed on your device — audio never leaves your phone. Meal photos are analyzed once and never stored. We don't sell your data or share it with advertisers. Export or delete everything, anytime.
