FoodHealth

FoodHealth is a dietitian-built shopping companion for people on GLP-1 medications. It scans packaged foods, assigns a 1–100 score, and helps users decide what to buy, eat, or swap.

FoodHealth

Overview

FoodHealth is a mobile shopping companion for people using GLP-1 medications who want a faster way to choose packaged foods. It lets users scan products and get an instant 1–100 score, then uses that score to suggest what to buy, eat, or swap.

The product’s science page says the FoodHealth Score is built by dietitians and based on peer-reviewed nutrition research. It combines ingredient quality and nutrient density, then applies a GLP-1-specific lens that emphasizes protein, fiber, hydration, and foods that are less likely to worsen nausea, reflux, or constipation.

What FoodHealth includes

Packaged food scoring

Scan a packaged food and get an instant 1–100 FoodHealth Score designed to help you compare products in the aisle or on screen.

Two-part scoring model

The score combines Ingredient Quality Measure and Nutrient Density Score so product comparison reflects both ingredient quality and nutrient content.

GLP-1-aware recommendations

If you identify as being on a GLP-1, the app shifts recommendations toward protein quality, fiber per calorie, and hydration-supporting foods.

Diet-context flags

The app flags foods that may be harder to tolerate on GLP-1s, including empty-calorie, high-fat, added-sugar, and ultra-processed options.

Adaptive guidance over time

FoodHealth adjusts guidance over time, with early-stage suggestions that can favor easier-to-tolerate foods before shifting toward more protein and fiber density.

Mobile app access

The product is available on iPhone and Android and is offered as a subscription with a free trial.

Common ways people use FoodHealth

  • Choosing between similar packaged foods

    When you are comparing several similar products in a store aisle, the app gives each one a score so you can move on without reading every label line by line.

  • Shopping with GLP-1 nutrition goals

    If you are trying to eat better while taking a GLP-1, the app shifts recommendations toward higher-protein, higher-fiber, and hydration-supporting choices.

  • Making cart decisions faster

    When you are not sure which item is worth keeping in the cart, the score helps you decide what to buy, what to swap, and what to leave behind.

  • Finding easier-on-the-stomach options

    If you are early in treatment and want easier-to-tolerate foods, the app can surface options that are softer, simpler, or less likely to aggravate common GI side effects.

  • Scanning foods while shopping online or in person

    For shoppers browsing on a phone, FoodHealth can score packaged foods directly from the app instead of sending you back to search engines or external nutrition apps.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a simple 1–100 score that makes product comparison quick in a shopping context.
  • Uses a GLP-1-specific lens instead of a generic nutrition model.
  • Explains the scoring approach with ingredient and nutrient components, rather than hiding the methodology.
  • Available on both the App Store and Google Play.
  • Offers a 7-day free trial and in-app cancellation.

Cons

  • The scoring method is designed around FoodHealth’s own framework, so users still need to trust the app’s interpretation of nutrition data.
  • The site focuses on packaged foods in the U.S., so it may be less useful for unpackaged or non-U.S. shopping scenarios.
  • The pricing page shows a paid subscription after trial, so it is not presented as a permanently free app.
