I usually get an A.  Fruits and veggies keep it up there.
i usually get an A-, but don't feel like i deserve it!
just wondering...what exactly gets classified as "other" in the pie chart?  i usually have 0 in that slice, but maybe that is the difference between an A and a D?
Unless I do something crazy like eat a bunch of cookies, I almost always get A's.  I believe this is because I see a nutritionist who has given me guidelines as to how many things of each food group I should eat each day.   I almost always follow this exactly, so I think I get A's because I get a little of everything.

ok..maybe im eating too much cheetos or something when i get C's. everyone sounds like theyre reallie healthy! I just cant go one week without cheating..  :(
You get "other" whenever something lists for example 100 calories but then doesn't account for them in the nutrients it contains (For instance, it'll list 3g of fat, 5g of protein and 5g carbs and 100 Calories... Which only accounts for 70 calories... So the 30 calories that aren't accounted for are OTHER calories)

I usually get an A... Today I got an A- though... lol Oh well
I've been a straight A student for over 6 months. I exclusively follow the food recommendation on this website:
http://www.whfoods.com/foodstoc.php
I'm always a B somehow. And I don't really eat healthy foods :P French fries are the enemy!
I usually get an A or A-...I haven't gotten an A+, is it possible?
Today was my first day getting a C....I was out most of the day .. I had 2 fruit and youghurt parfaits for breakfast at McDonalds. I then had 2 Snack wraps at Mcdonalds without the cheese and ranch dressing for lunch and then I had chinese food for supper... A terrible day of drive through but I actually still managed to stay under my daily limit of calories. The Sodium was too high though and the fat content was way out of whack. That must be why I got a C

Back in the groove tommorow
I get a lot of C's

But i'm eating much healthier than I had been. Major improvment. Will this effect my weight loss? One reason why i'm getting c's is because of the sodium in the food i eat.
I get almost all A and A-.  I think the worst I ever get is a B+, and that's usually from sodium, which i am just not as concerned about.  My blood pressure is a little on the low side, and I crave salt like crazy.  I do my best to keep my diet healthy.  To be honest, i just lose more weight when I'm eating healthier.
I've only been at this for 3 days, but I most got A's & B's on my food choices. 

Does it give a daily grade somewhere?
I get As and A-s. I got a B+ once or twice, probably from going over the sodium limit. Have never seen a C. I think being vegetarian helps with the grades.
chrissyseymour--Yeah, if you click on analysis under Account you'll get a pie chart of your carb/fat/protien/alcohol/other ratio, a daily grade, daily sodium intake, and some other facts as well.  Daily grades can sometimes be totally out of sync with the individual grades of the foods you eat.  Like veggies are great and get great grades, but if you just ate 1200 calories worth of spinich in a day (if that's even possible) you probably wouldn't get a perfect grade for the day, since you would be missing a health balance of fat and the like.
The daily grade shows up when you are in your account (all of your logs are tabs at the top) and the last tab to the right says "Analysis" and you can see your daily totals up to this point and your combined "grade" for everything you've logged.

I have an A over 50% of the time and an A- about 40 % of the time -- the rest are in the B family.
i haven't figured this out yet... does it take into account foods you add yourself? cause i'm living abroad right now so it has virtually none of the things i buy in the online list... yet it says i get As even when i've had all kinds of random food (including junk).
I usually get A- or B+. This is because I have a major sweet tooth so I sneak in a cookie once in a while. But foods like Cheetos, cookies, soda, are high-energy density foods and those foods generally get bad grades. The more you stick to low-energy density foods the better off you'll be.
I usually get A during the week and I don't even log on the weekends even though I should.  If I logged what I ate on the weekends I would assuredly get an F lol
I normally flux between an A and a C.  Just depends on how I have used my calories for the day.
Since I've been coming here and using this site I almost always get an A.  On rare, rare occassions I get an A- and I've never gotten anything below that.
