high ↑ Calories / Weight helps weight gain.
low ↓ Calories / Weight helps weight loss.
Bodyweight is determined by calories in vs. calories out.
To lose bodyweight, you must maintain a caloric deficit.
To gain bodyweight, you must maintain a caloric surplus.
The kicker is that one of the main contributors to feeling full is the physical volume of food you consume, not the amount of calories. Here, we use food weight as a proxy for volume.
high ↑ Protein / Calories helps muscle growth while keeping weight down.
When cutting, you'll need to consume enough protein to maintain muscle growth, while limiting calories.
You can think of this as making use of your calories, since you only have a limited amount of calories to reach your protein intake.
low ↓ Price / Calories means you are paying less for your protein intake.
Metrics involving price are quite helpful, as you can determine how much money you're spending for the foods underlying macros.
low ↓ Price / Protein means you are paying less for your protein intake.
Metrics involving price are quite helpful, as you can determine how much money you're spending for the foods underlying macros.
Look for the Serving size button within Nutrition Facts labels. This can be used to scale the serving size or the calorie count up or down to your desired value.
Scaling the serving size can be helpful when you want to know the nutrition content for the exact amount of food you consumed.
Custom nutrition metrics can be injected into Nutrition Facts labels. These metrics represent a rate between two existing nutrients within the label.
For example, if you want to view Caloric Density, you would make your chosen metric: Calories / Weight.
Alternatively, if you want to view Protein Density, you would make your chosen metric: Protein / Calories.
If you would like to normalize these metrics, so that they becomes meaningful at a quick glance, you can set bounds.
In addition to metrics measuring a rate between two nutrients, metrics can also measure a rate between the price per serving and a nutrient.
Metrics involving price are quite helpful, as you can determine how much money you're spending for the foods underlying macros.
For example, if you want to view Price / Calories, you would make your chosen metric: Price / Calories.
Alternatively, if you want to view Price / Protein, you would make your chosen metric: Price / Protein.
Since the price of a product is quoted for the entire container, and the nutrients within the Nutrition Facts label are quoted for a specific serving size, NutriScan will automatically scale the product price down to a price per serving, for accurate comparison. If the price per serving is unable to be detected, or you want to verify which product price is being used, simply click on the editable price field witin the injected metric.
