A banana or oats do not become less healthy when you switch from weight loss to muscle gain. ZymFit therefore separates product quality from the actual role of a meal in your day.
The product score answers “is this product generally good quality?”. It stays the same for every goal: 60% nutritional quality, 30% additives and 10% organic certification. NOVA remains separate processing information.
The meal score answers “does this meal fit right now?”. It uses your goal, portion, meal slot and the calories and macros left after meals already logged.
| Criterion | Product / barcode | Meal / photo or entry |
|---|---|---|
| Question | General nutritional quality | Fit with the day |
| Changes with the goal | No | Yes, with the full context |
| Main inputs | 60% nutrition, 30% additives, 10% organic; NOVA separate | Goal, portion, meal slot, calories and macros left |
| Same food | Same quality score | May vary by meal and by what remains that day |
The product score never rewards or punishes a goal. Only the meal score interprets quantity and the remaining budget.
Product / barcode: Its general quality stays the same during a cut, maintenance or muscle gain.
Meal / photo or entry: One serving may fit very well; several servings are judged against the meal and remaining budget.
Product / barcode: Their nutritional quality and lack of additives support a stable general score.
Meal / photo or entry: The serving and toppings determine the real impact on calories and macros.
Product / barcode: Poor nutritional quality and higher-risk additives can lower general quality for everyone.
Meal / photo or entry: The score also considers quantity and what has already been eaten.
They complement each other, but they should never be merged.
Use the barcode to understand composition and processing without a goal-based judgement.
Use a photo or manual entry to check the portion, meal slot and what remains in the day.
The number should come with clear factors. ZymFit does not promise an automatic product replacement.
For shopping, use the product’s general quality. For planning your day, use the meal score. Good quality does not mean unlimited portions, and one calorie-dense meal does not make a product unhealthy.
Not in a barcode scan: general quality stays stable. In a meal, the portion and remaining calorie and macro budget can change the contextual score.
No. The score assigns 60% to nutritional quality, 30% to additives and 10% to organic certification. NOVA stays visible separately and does not affect the score.
Yes. It uses what remains in the day’s budget, as well as your goal, portion and meal slot.
No. It explains the product’s or meal’s strengths and limits without promising an automatic alternative.
