Calories vs food quality

MyFitnessPal optimises for the calorie number. WellSignal optimises for food quality and nutrition density — with calories as one input among eight, weighted by your goals. If you're tracking a processed-food diet at 1,800 calories, a calorie counter will say you're on track. WellSignal will show you what's actually in it.
