FAQ – nutrition app (Food Secrets)

How is my imported recipe rated?

Every imported recipe is automatically linked to the 1000+ food database. From that, Food Secrets calculates a recipe score for your active goals — e.g. anti-inflammation, immunity, muscle building. You see 100+ nutrients, effect profiles including the 5 defence systems (DNA, microbiome, angiogenesis, immunity, stem cells) and instantly recognise how well the dish fits you.

Which nutrition app is the best?

The best app is the one that fits your goal. Food Secrets combines food rankings, nutrition analysis, scientific nutrition tips and recipe import with a shopping list – ideal for DACH.

Which goals does the app support?

The app covers three major goal areas: healthy nutrition, diseases (prevention & support) and fitness (weight loss & muscle building). You choose up to 3 active goals — and the app arranges rankings, recipes, tips and plan around them.

How does Food Secrets personalise my nutrition?

You pick your goals — up to 3 at a time. Everything then arranges itself around them: the food rankings, the score of every imported recipe, your insights and tips as well as your weekly plan. Every ingredient is linked to our food database, so you can see which ingredients drive your goals most — and which ones to swap. You can change your goals whenever you like.

What does goal-oriented nutrition mean?

Instead of general dietary rules, you work toward a concrete goal — longevity, immune system or heart, for example. Every food and every recipe is scored by how strongly it supports that specific goal. So you don’t just see that something is “healthy”, you see what it is good for — and can shape your everyday eating around it.

Which app for healthy nutrition (Switzerland/Germany/Austria)?

Food Secrets – with evidence-based nutrition tips, nutrition analysis (>100 values) and food rankings on a BLV-extended data basis.

Which app helps with nutrition for diseases?

Food Secrets prioritises foods by their effect profile (e.g. anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, blood-pressure-lowering) and links them with tips, recipe import & shopping list. We see nutrition as a companion for prevention and therapy support — not as a healing promise. More under diseases & nutrition.

Which app for fitness nutrition (weight loss/muscle building)?

Food Secrets offers Food Rankings for weight loss & muscle building, automatic nutrients and a weekly plan with reminders. More under fitness & nutrition.

Is there an app with a food table with rank?

Yes. The Food Rankings prioritise foods for your goals (e.g. anti-inflammation, weight loss, muscle building) – at a glance.

Which app has recipe import & an automatic shopping list?

With the recipe generator you import recipes by URL, scan cookbook pages, calculate nutrients and create the shopping list automatically – including a weekly plan & notifications.

Where do I find scientific nutrition tips (with studies)?

In the Food Insights – short, evidence-based tips with sources and a direct link to foods, rankings & recipes. Over 1000 studies have gone into our recommendations.

What makes Food Secrets better than other nutrition apps?

Scientific & practical: 1000+ curated foods with >100 nutrients, evidence-based Food Insights, recipe import & scan, a smart shopping list, reminders, a weekly plan & Food Rankings — connected into the 30-second flow from goal to plate.

Where does the data come from?

The basis is verified nutrient tables (incl. BLV Switzerland) – extended with health-relevant information (phytonutrients, allergy filters, defence systems), wild herbs, mushrooms, fermented foods and seasonal data. Quality & plausibility are checked continuously.

Is Food Secrets free?

Yes. You can use the app for free; premium features are optional (Android & iOS).
