How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, calculated from USDA-referenced nutrient data for the ingredients rather than estimated by an AI model. The same recipe and the same goal return the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies goal-specific weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
