Most Popular Foods This list of foods is ranked by popularity, with 1 being most popular. The foods most frequently viewed are listed first.

Nutrient Search If you search by a single criterion, the food with the most (or least) of that nutrient will be at the top of the list. If you search for foods highest or lowest in multiple nutrients, we determine a composite score by multiplying the rankings for each individual criterion. For example, if you search for foods high in calcium and magnesium, a food ranked #1 for calcium and #10 for magnesium would have a composite score of 10. A food ranked #5 for calcium and #5 for magnesium would have a composite score of 25. The results are ranked according to their composite scores.

Search by Caloric Ratio Caloric Ratio search results are ranked and sorted by proximity to the ratio you selected. Foods with a ratio of Carbohydrates:Fats:Protein closest to the one selected are shown first, with a rank of 1 being the closest match.

Search by Fullness FactorTM and ND Rating (Nutritional Target MapTM) These search results are ranked and sorted by proximity to the map point that you selected, reflecting foods with a certain ND Rating (nutrient density) and Fullness FactorTM (energy density). Foods closest to the point you selected will appear first, with a rank of 1 being the closest match.
