GrubIQ tm FAQQ1: How can I compare the nutrient content of two different foods? A1: Click here to learn about how to compare two different foods. Q2: How come when I change the serving size, the GrubScore stays the same? A2: The GrubScore is calculated based on a 100 gram serving size for all food products. Hence the relative score (percentile) is independent of the serving size. Q3: What if my phone does not have Internet access? A3: Internet access from your phone (often called "WAP" (wireless access protocol)) is required for the service. Your carrier may have several low cost options ranging from 10 megabytes per month to unlimited usage plans. Q4: What is "Folate, DFE?" A4: The RDAs for folate are expressed in a term called the Dietary Folate Equivalent. The Dietary Folate Equivalent (DFE) was developed to help account for the differences in absorption of naturally occurring dietary folate and the more bioavailable synthetic folic acid. Q5: What is an "NLEA" serving size that appears on some foods? A5: NLEA defines serving size as the amount of food customarily eaten at one time. The serving sizes that appear on food labels are based on FDA-established lists of "Reference Amounts Customarily Consumed Per Eating Occasion." |
