First I agree with your comment. The profile will sort of assume a general bodytype and diet and thus make wild assumptions. For one I have some sort of undiagnosed GI issue which causes in my opinion a bit of malabsorption. I’m literally half the mass of my younger brother even though he tries watching his weight and doesn’t eat candies or sugary or fatty treats whereas I actually try to get my weight up and have a pound of candy as a nightly snack and eat fatty burgers and meats, along with veggies ofc, but like as far as macros go my sugar, fat and protein intake are rather high and I still have trouble gaining weight.
So yeah it’s gonna be hard giving things a flat healthiness rating as what is healthy for one may not be for the other.
Secondly saw some video from Rory Sutherland, where he discusses how a company put “now with less fat/sugar” in a package and got less sales. Even after they’d done extensive research to make sure it still tasted just as good. If they had just changed the recipe but not told anyone, or marketed differently, they would’ve had more success.
I’ve got mainly two things to say.

Edit Oh yeah I found the short I meant
