Recipe nutrition score
Know if dinner is
actually healthy.
Not a guess. A number you can verify.
Every recipe gets a health score from 0 to 100 based on 30+ nutritional parameters. Nutrient density, energy density, glycemic impact. One transparent number. You can see exactly why a recipe scored the way it did.
Tell easyChef Pro your health goals once. The system does not just filter. It changes how every score is calculated across six clinically-derived health dimensions.

No system to use it.

Why people switch
from Cronometer
The most detailed nutrition data available. But data alone doesn't tell you what to cook tonight. No meal planning. No pantry. No grocery list. The problem was never you. The system was disconnected.
The tracking-only problem
- Detailed micronutrient data with no system to act on it
- No automated meal planning
- No pantry tracking or expiration alerts
- Grocery list you build yourself every week
- No recipe health score -- just raw nutrient totals
- No connection between your log and your kitchen
Best tracker available. No system around it.
