About these ratings
Each rating combines four things, each scored from 0 to 100 against fixed limits: calories per gram (35%), protein per 100 kcal (25%), fibre per 100 kcal (20%), and the size of a regular serving compared with what that kind of dish should provide in a meal (20%). More than 15 g of added sugar in a serving caps the rating at 2 stars. A higher rating does not mean a dish causes weight loss. See the methodology for the formula.
