Recipe nutrition score
Not a letter grade.
A number you can verify.
Yuka gives you A, B, C, or D. easyChef Pro gives you 0-100 with the math behind it.
Every recipe gets a health score based on 30+ nutritional parameters. Nutrient density, energy density, glycemic impact, processing level, inflammatory markers. One transparent number. You can see exactly which ingredient moved the score and by how much.
Set your health goal once. The scoring adapts across six clinically-derived dimensions: heart health, blood sugar, inflammation, digestive health, muscle performance, and general wellness.

A system tells you what to cook.

Why people switch
from Yuka
A scanner that grades a box but ignores your dinner. A letter grade with no swap, no plan, no next step. The problem was never you. The app was built to scan, not to solve.
The Yuka gap
- Grades packaged products only -- no fresh ingredients
- Letter grade with no meal context
- No recipe scoring or swap suggestions
- No meal planning connected to the scores
- No pantry tracking -- scores items in isolation
- No grocery list built from healthier alternatives
Knowing a product is a C does not tell you what to cook instead.
