Every food gets a battery

A full battery means the food tends to keep you full till your next meal. A low one means hunger tends to come back soon. Read off the food itself, before you eat it.

How it works

From a scan to how hungry you are

CarbsSugarFiberFatProteinCalories

Step 1

Scan

Bazu reads the label: carbs, sugar, fiber, fat, protein and calories.

Crash

1–2½ h

Fades

2–3 h

Lasts

3–6 h

Step 2

Get a battery

Quick sugar drains it. Calories, protein and fiber hold it. Meals like this tend to hold 3–6 h, 2–3 h or 1–2½ h. People vary.

Step 3

Fix the plate

One change that tends to keep you full longer.

Predicted

Holding steady

Each meal fills it. A snack recharges it a little.

Typically holds about 2h 15m more

Step 4

Your day battery

On Home, each meal fills it. It stays full a while, then drains.

How hungry are you since lunch?

Still fullA bit hungryReally hungry

Your answer adjusts today's battery. It's saved with this meal.

Step 5

Tell us how hungry you are

Bazu asks after a meal, usually when the battery turns red. Your answer moves the battery a little.

Under the battery

What drives it

Fast carbs

Sugars and potatoes that digest fast. With protein and fiber they hold longer.

Quick sugar

Sugar with nothing to slow it. In a drink, it hits fastest.

Calories

Too few calories fade early. A big plate is never marked down.

Protein and fiber

They slow the carbs and hold you longer.

What it is for

What the read does for you

Catch the foods that burn fast

A bar that says healthy and reads like candy shows a red battery before you buy it.

Find what carries you

Protein, fiber and enough calories hold you longer. A swap Bazu suggests never lowers the battery.

See which meals leave you hungry

Your own answers, meal after meal, show which meals left you hungry soon.

Straight up

What it isn't

Not a measurement

Nothing is read from your body. The battery is predicted from the food, for a typical person. Your answers move the day battery on Home, never the food's own read.

Not the Nutrition Score

The score says how good a food is for you. The battery says how long it tends to keep you full. A food can score well and still burn fast.

Not medical advice

It is a prediction for a typical person, and people vary by about an hour either way. It is not something to make a health decision on.

FAQ

Common questions

The food. Bazu reads two things off its nutrition: how much it holds you with (its calories, protein and fiber, and how dense it is), and how much quick sugar it carries with nothing to slow it, above all sugar in a drink. Predicted for a typical person, not measured from you.
