Food & Diet
A few questions about what you eat give a diet quality score out of 100, scored against WHO guidelines. Global mean is 55 with an SD of 20. Also shows which country's typical diet yours resembles.
How many servings of fruits and vegetables do you eat per day?
How often do you eat red or processed meat?
How often do you eat fish or seafood?
How often do you eat fast food or ultra-processed meals?
How often do you cook your own meals at home?
Five questions, 20 points each, scored in the direction of the WHO healthy-diet advice: fruit and vegetables daily, fish weekly, little processed meat or fast food, cooking at home.
Answer all five questions to see your score.

About this test
Five questions about a typical week: fruit and vegetables, red and processed meat, fish, fast food, home cooking. The module scores your diet out of 100 against WHO dietary guidance and places it on a normal curve with mean 55 and SD 20, our estimate of the global spread informed by FAO Food Balance Sheets (2022).
A score of 75 is better than about 84% of people; 35 is worse than about 84%. The scale is ours, so the numbers are comparable to other visitors, not to a published index. The FAO data describes what countries have available to eat, not what any one person ate.
What is a healthy diet score?
On this module's scale, above 70 means you meet most of the WHO recommendations: five portions of fruit and vegetables a day, limited red and processed meat, little fast food, mostly home-cooked meals. The mean is 55 (SD 20), so 70 is about the 77th percentile.
How many portions of fruit and vegetables should I eat?
At least 400 g a day, about five portions, per WHO. Most national diets fall short of that in the FAO Food Balance Sheets. The module's first question asks about your week, not the national average.
Is the diet score a medical assessment?
No. It is a five-question survey scored against public guidelines, meant for comparison. It does not know your calories, allergies or medical history. A dietitian does.
Percentiles above come from the same parameters the Food & Diet module uses. See the methodology for how they are calculated.
