Satiety Scores are simple to use for Weight Loss, what most people are seeking here. HAVA has the macros but only basic nutrients in their formula. Optimising nutrition to correct health issues, or to regain weight may require more data than even the 80+ nutrients tracked by Cronometer. I watch iodine and boron which are not included. Iron is, but not just heme iron. We have the calcium to oxalate ratios but is that enough? What we don’t know about micronutrients could fill books.
Even with the macros, Dr Naiman has said the calories in protein should not be included. Right off the top, the thermic effect of protein uses up about 25% of the 4 calories per gram. Much of the rest is for building muscle and bone…not used for energy. I like the idea of subtracting UPF calories…but all so complicated!
