How Accurate Is Nouri? Our 100-Meal Accuracy Benchmark


We tested Nouri on 100 meals and checked every answer against USDA FoodData Central and the restaurant chains' own nutrition data. Nouri averaged 92.1 out of 100 and passed 95 of 100. MyFitnessPal, tested the same way, averaged 77.0 and passed 70.

● Run October 6, 2026 · 100 typed inputs · same references and same scoring for both apps

Read this first. We make Nouri, and we ran this test ourselves. That is exactly why everything is public: every input, every reference source, both apps' raw answers, Nouri's own reasoning and sources, the misses, and the scoring script. Nouri's answers came from the same production server the app uses, logged into a regular Premium account. MyFitnessPal's answers came from searching each input on its website and taking the top result, with the serving set to match the amount asked. We gave MyFitnessPal every advantage a careful user would have. Check any row yourself.

MyFitnessPal does best on chain restaurants, because chains publish their numbers and its users have entered them. It struggles most with weighed portions and everyday phrasing, where the top search result is often a different food or a different size.

When Nouri isn't sure, it tells you

Every Nouri log comes with a confidence rating. That rating turned out to be honest:

Nouri's confidenceTestsPassed
High9895 of 98
Medium20 of 2

So a high-confidence answer is one you can trust, and a medium one is your cue to add a detail, like the size or the brand. Most apps hand you a number either way. Nouri also shows its reasoning for each item, so you can see how it got there and fix anything that looks off.

Where Nouri got it wrong

Nouri missed 5 of 100. Here they are, with what happened:

1 avocadoReference 321.6 cal, Nouri 227 cal, score 70, confidence medium

Nouri used a 136g avocado from its sources. USDA's standard "1 avocado" is 201g. Nouri rated this one medium confidence.

200g baked salmonReference 412 cal, Nouri 342 cal, score 75, confidence high

Nouri used a database entry for plain baked salmon that is leaner than USDA's farmed Atlantic salmon, so calories and fat came in low.

a chocolate chip cookieReference 66.6 cal, Nouri 170 cal, score 6, confidence high

Nouri assumed an average bakery or chain cookie of about 30 to 35g. USDA's standard cookie is a small 15g one.

a cup of chicken noodle soupReference 59.5 cal, Nouri 130 cal, score 0, confidence high

Nouri used values for condensed soup. USDA's standard cup is canned soup diluted with an equal amount of water.

Subway 6-inch turkey subReference 480 cal, Nouri 280 cal, score 63, confidence medium

Nouri assumed the sub without cheese or sauce. Subway's official 480 calories is the sub as Subway builds it by default. Nouri rated this one medium confidence.

How the scoring works

Each answer is scored against the reference with the same formula for both apps. We take the percentage error on calories, protein, carbs, and fat, cap each at 100%, and weight them: calories 40%, protein 25%, carbs 20%, fat 15%. Score = 100 x (1 - weighted error), rounded. To keep tiny numbers from blowing up the math, an error is measured against at least 10 calories or 2 grams.

A test passes at a score of 80 or more for simple foods, exact amounts, and restaurant items, and 70 or more for homemade meals and vague inputs, where real portions naturally vary.

FAQ

How accurate is Nouri?

In our October 2026 benchmark of 100 meals, Nouri averaged 92.1 out of 100 and passed 95 of 100 tests against USDA and official restaurant data. Every input, reference, and answer is published on this page.

Who ran this test?

We did. We make Nouri, so we published everything you need to check us: the test list, the reference sources, both apps' raw answers, and the scoring script.

Why compare against MyFitnessPal?

It is one of the best-known calorie trackers and the one most people compare against. Its database also covers the restaurant chains in the test, so it had a fair shot.

Was MyFitnessPal given a fair chance?

Yes. We took the top search result, as a user would, and set the serving to match the amount in the input. For homemade meals we searched each ingredient separately and added them up, which is the most favorable way to log a meal in a database app.

What does the confidence rating mean?

Nouri rates every estimate high, medium, or low confidence. In this test, high-confidence answers passed 95 of 98, and the 2 answers rated lower were all misses. When Nouri is unsure, it tells you, so you know when to add detail.

Does this test photo logging?

No. Every input was typed text, which is also what Nouri turns a photo into before it calculates. Photo accuracy depends on how clearly the food is visible, so we kept this test to text.

An easier way to log food

Like Apple Notes, but for calories.

Write what you ate the way you would jot a note, snap a photo of the plate, or say "Hey Siri, track food in Nouri" with your phone still locked. Nouri works out the calories and macros, shows you every item it counted, and lets you change anything that looks off.
