How the FatTonic Score works

Each score starts at 100 and is adjusted by the factors that determine a food's effect on insulin and fat-burning: glycemic load and sugar pull it down, fiber and protein push it up, and ultra-processing is penalized. It is deliberately transparent so you can see exactly why a food scores the way it does — open any food page for the full breakdown.
