Nutrition Grade for Daily Intake?

Would it be possible to change the algorithm on the analysis tab so that the entire day was graded?  I mean, if each food is graded based on its composition, couldn't the same formula be applied to the daily intake?

I know it is just a guide, but getting an A from only eating A foods seems less useful than getting a A because you met the entire day's nutritional requirements.

That would be nice.  That's actually how I thought the grading system worked before.  Although I hate that you can skew your grades.  Nutritional info is not always complete from stuff you get at the store.

It would be nice to know why a certain score was given for that day as well.  Some advice like sodium too high, fat intake too high, or not enough fiber.

Actually the grade for the day is just an average of the individual grades you ate.  So if you eat a lot of foods that get a grade of A, you will most likely get a higher daily grade.

It would be nice to have it summarized for the day though.

oh, like the specifics?

like it would give you an A for sodium if you were right around the RDA and an F if you had 4 times the amount?
