The method

One score, twelve dimensions, zero hand-waving.

Most trackers count calories and call it nutrition. HBI reads every food across twelve dimensions of longevity science, then hands you a single number you can act on.

Three taps to a score

01

Log a food

Search 3,022+ foods and tap a serving. No barcodes to hunt, no macros to memorise — just find it and go.

02

Get the score

One honest 0–100 number tells you whether that food is building health, holding steady, or depleting your reserves.

03

See the why

Tap through to the pathways it activates, the compounds it carries, and the published research each claim rests on.

The formula

The twelve dimensions, weighted.

Foundational nutrition sets the floor. Longevity pathways carry the most weight — that's the science no other consumer score touches. Processing and risk act as modifiers.

Tier 1

Foundational nutrition

≈ 30%
  • Macronutrient quality
    Fibre, sugar, fat & omega ratios
    12%
  • Micronutrient density
    Vitamins & minerals per calorie
    12%
  • Glycemic impact
    Blood-sugar load
    6%
Tier 2

Longevity & pathways

≈ 58%
  • Longevity pathway activation
    The differentiator
    20%
  • Phytochemical & antioxidant
    Polyphenols, carotenoids, ORAC
    12%
  • Anti-inflammatory potential
    Dietary Inflammatory Index
    10%
  • Cardiovascular support
    Potassium-to-sodium, nitrate
    8%
  • Gut microbiome impact
    Prebiotic fibre & ferments
    8%
Tier 3

Risk & processing

Modifiers
  • Processing / NOVA
    Whole vs ultra-processed
    ±0–15
  • Risk factors
    Heavy metals, pesticides, AGEs
    −0–10
  • Bioavailability
    How well you absorb it
    ±0–5
  • Acid–alkaline
    PRAL renal load
    ±0–5

Bars show each dimension's weight relative to the heaviest single input, longevity pathway activation at 20%. Tier 3 dimensions are applied as ± modifiers, not fixed percentages.

The scale

What the score means.

Every score lands in one of six bands, from actively building health to depleting your reserves. The colour is the shorthand; the number is the detail.

The day

Your daily score.

Your day rolls up every food you log, weighted by portion — then rewards variety and colour, and gently discourages a one-note diet.

+3 to +8

Diversity bonus

Eat more distinct foods across the day and your score lifts — variety is a signal of a resilient diet.

+2 to +8

Colour-spectrum bonus

Hit more colour groups — eat the rainbow — and you unlock a wider spread of phytochemicals.

−5

Balance penalty

If a single food category dominates the day, a gentle penalty nudges you back toward balance.

86/ 100Optimal

A day that hits the rainbow and eats broadly lands high — like this.

Best-of-top-3 rule

A food is scored on what it does best.

Longevity scoring credits a food for the pathways it excels at, not the ones it never touches. So broccoli's world-class NRF2 activation isn't diluted by pathways it was never meant to reach — its strengths carry the score, the way they carry your plate.
