Step 1
Snap the ingredients
FoodSussed Snap estimates a processing level from 1 to 4 and explains the reasons, using our own method. Processing level is not a health score.

Three things the app does, in the order you'll use them.
Step 2
Track calories and macros
Scan a barcode or search, pick your portion, and see calories, protein, carbs and fat against your daily target.
Step 3
Coach and your weekly digest
FoodSussed Coach sets your starting calorie target. Every Sunday your weekly digest sums up your week, and Coach reviews your progress as your records build up.

Want help with your fitness goals?
In the app, FoodSussed Coach sets your starting calorie target and reviews your week. Prefer to read first? Pick the guide that sounds like you and start with its first link. The rest can wait.
GOAL: LOSE FAT
"I want to lose fat."
Start with the full beginner route. Then work out a number and see how it fits a normal week.
GOAL: BUILD MUSCLE
"I want to build muscle."
Start with a routine you can repeat. Protein and calories support the training; they do not replace it.
GOAL: NO IDEA YET
"I have absolutely no idea where to start."
That's what Day One is for. Follow it in order, everything else can wait.
GOAL: LOSE FAT + BUILD MUSCLE
"I want to look leaner without losing strength."
That can mean losing fat, building muscle, or both over time. The right starting point depends on training history and current body fat. No special "tone-up" plan required.

THE FAT-LOSS STARTING POINT
Over time, intake has to sit below expenditure.
Different diets organise food in different ways. Fat loss still needs an energy deficit. The useful plan is the one that creates it without making the rest of the week miserable.

High-protein diets are best for building muscle while losing fat. That one's true.

NUTRITION · PER 100g
Calories245 kcal
Start here. Always.
This is your total energy. Everything else follows from it. Know roughly what you burn a day, and this number finally means something.
Protein24g
A quick protein-density check
I use 10g of protein per 100 calories as a quick comparison, not an official definition of "high protein". Here, 24g on 245 kcal is close enough to be useful.
Carbs18g
Total carbs includes sugar
Don't judge the carb line alone — check the sugar line under it separately. Carbs are fuel, not a threat.
— of which sugar3g
Low, medium or high sugar
5g or less sugar per 100g is low. Over 22.5g per 100g is high; anything between is medium (safefood). Three grams? Low.
Fat7g
Don't fear fat
Fat doesn't make you fat — excess calories do. Glance at saturated fat and keep that one reasonable. Done.
IngredientsLevel 4
How processed is it?
The ingredients list tells you how processed a food is. This one includes an emulsifier (soya lecithin), so FoodSussed would put it at Level 4. Level 4 describes how a food was made, not whether it's healthy, so the nutrition lines above still matter. How the levels work.
