Calories tell only part of the meal
Protein, fibre, water content and energy density all affect how much food you can eat for a calorie budget. FoodKind brings those signals together in a simple 0 to 100 VFC estimate.
A higher score does not make a food morally better. It suggests the food may offer more fullness and nutritional value for its calories.
Learn from the food you actually log
Insights show your higher and lower VFC foods, a calorie-weighted diet score and the relationship between daily calories and satiety over time.
That makes the feature personal. You can look for small swaps that fit your own meals instead of following a fixed list of approved foods.
Use VFC as a comparison, not a diagnosis
VFC is a heuristic built from nutrition information. Hunger is also affected by sleep, habits, preferences and context, so your experience still matters.

Common questions
What does VFC mean?
VFC means Value for Calories. It estimates how much satiety and nutritional value a food may offer for its calorie cost.
Is a low-VFC food bad?
No. The score is context for planning, not a moral judgement. Foods with different scores can all fit a diet.
Does VFC measure how full I will feel?
Not exactly. It is a nutrition-based estimate. Your personal appetite and circumstances can differ.
